RCMP seek witnesses following suspicious incident on Highway 97

MACKENZIE — Mounties are seeking witnesses following a suspicious incident on Highway 97 Sunday (June 19).

North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says last night at 6:50 p.m. it was reported that a man, driving a newer white pickup, approached a woman while she was in her vehicle parked at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 39. The unknown man asked her where she was going but the woman did not tell him and left the area without incident.

A short time later on Highway 97, the woman saw a vehicle, described as a newer model white van, pull onto the highway and stop, causing the woman to also stop. A man, (not the same one from earlier) got out of the van and approached her vehicle.

RCMP say the woman drove around the stopped vehicle and continued on without contact with the person. A man, matching the description of the man from earlier, was seen in this white van. The incident was reported to police and an investigation is ongoing.
