The Edmonton Police Service is asking the public for help finding a carjacking suspect who is “considered to be armed and dangerous” after obtaining multiple warrants for his arrest.
Officers responded to a 911 “trouble unknown” call at Anthony Henday Drive near the Cameron Heights exit at 6:35 a.m. Sunday.
According to police, a 55-year-old woman was allegedly dragged from her vehicle by a man after she pulled over to offer him help when his SUV drove off the road and into a ditch. Police said he also had a female passenger in the SUV.
“It was reported to police that the male and female suspects then drove off in the woman’s 2011 grey GMC Yukon, which was last seen travelling westbound on the Henday,” police said in a news release on Thursday.
