Special thanks to Shannon Deveau of the Yorkton News Review for this news release from Yorkton City RCMP:
(Quite a coincidence that an incident that occurred on March 19th ends up being reported to police the same night that a second incident occurs.)
Yesterday evening at approximately 11:00 p.m. Yorkton Municipal RCMP members responded to a 911 complaint that a male driving a 4 door pick-up truck had attempted to abduct an adult female. This occurred on Laurier Avenue, 1 block south of Broadway Street in the community of Yorkton, SK. Details of the incident are as follows:
A 21 year old female advised she was walking on Laurier Avenue when she was approached by a male who was driving what was described as a newer and very clean black or dark coloured four door pick up truck. The male asked the female for directions and then exited the truck and approached her from behind. The male was armed with a knife and forcibly took the female to the truck and put her in the back seat. After a short time, the 21 year old female was able to escape the vehicle and immediately called 911 and RCMP attended immediately to the scene.
The male is described as being 24-30 years old, 5'6" to 5'9" tall, average build, round face and wearing a black leather jacket, jeans and running shoes. The vehicle is described as a newer black, 4 door pick-up style truck, possibly a Ford or a Dodge product. The truck was very clean and appeared to have been recently washed. The truck was described as having a shorter cargo box of less than 8 feet. The license plate is believed to be from Saskatchewan.
RCMP also received a similar complaint on the evening of March 30th which detailed an incident that occurred on March 19th, 2011. There are similarities between the two incidents, including descriptors for the male subject and vehicle. RCMP in Yorkton are currently working on a composite sketch in relation to these two incidents. Once the sketch has been completed, it will be sent out through skmedia.
