Police say they responded to reports of an incident that allegedly took place at Willows Playground around 4:17 p.m. at the southern tip of the city west of Calgary. “A young man told his parents that while they were at the playground they saw a child getting up from the sidewalk and being placed in the back seat of a vehicle. The witness’s parents then contacted the police,” the RCMP said in a statement. The Cochrane RCMP says the victim is about 10 years old and was dressed in blue. No sex provided. Officials say the child was placed inside a newer model, a dark blue Jeep Cherokee driven by a man. Described as shaved and wearing a CAT baseball cap with yellow letters. While researchers are concerned about the child’s well-being, they are also wary that the incident may be a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, police are continuing the investigation.
