She was accompanied by a 36-year-old man suspected of having abducted her around 6:15 p.m. the day before, in Val-d’Or.
Sergeant Drolet was still at the site of the discovery, a road suitable for motor vehicles in the forest at kilometer 498 of route 117, or about ten kilometers east of Val-d’Or, where a security perimeter was erected.
There, the suspect did not surrender peacefully to the police, on the contrary.
“As the patrollers located the two people, the man tried to flee from the police. However, he was quickly located by the patrollers who made his arrest,” said the SQ spokesman.
“The police also found items on the spot, suggesting that a camp was going to be erected there,” said Sergeant Drolet.
If the girl is safe and sound, she was nevertheless transported to the Val-d’Or hospital “for evaluation”.
The disappearance of the 5-year-old girl was reported to the police at around 10:15 p.m. on Saturday.
The AMBER alert being lifted, it is now forbidden to reveal the identity of the child and that of his kidnapper, especially since he has not yet been charged with a crime
