RCMP appeal for tips after reports of young child running along John Hart Bridge

PRINCE GEORGE — RCMP are asking for the public’s help solving a bizarre mystery that unfolded on the John Hart Bridge in Prince George last Wednesday (Nov. 4).

Just before 6:00 p.m. Wednesday evening, local Mounties received multiple reports of a child running alone along the roadway near the on-ramp leading from North Nechako Road onto Highway 97.

The young girl was described as between three and six years old with purple hair and wearing a green shirt.

Mounties rushed to the area as soon as they could but couldn’t located the child, despite making numerous patrols and deploying a drone.

“We believe that the child may have been picked up by a guardian who has decided not to report the situation,” noted RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Craig Douglass. “We would like to ask the guardian or anyone who knows this child to reach out to us so that we may confirm their well-being. We also ask anyone who has additional information or dash-cam footage from the area at this time to provide it to police.”
