On February 7 at approximately 7:50 p.m., Mounties received a call from a woman in Edmonton indicating she was concerned that one of her relatives had possibly been abducted in Red Deer.

Through investigation, both by General Duty members and the Crime Reduction Team, police were led to a residence in the Highland Green neighbourhood.

While there, officers intercepted a stolen vehicle and performed a high-risk take down.

RCMP say both the victim and suspect were unharmed in the incident and transported to the downtown RCMP detachment.
