Manitoba RCMP on hunt for man involved in 'random' kidnapping, believed to be in Winnipeg | FULL

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Corporal Julie Courchaine of the Manitoba RCMP provided updates about a “random” kidnapping in the Portage La Prairie area that took place on Friday.

According to the police, the incident involved a two-year-old child and a 25-year-old woman, who were both safely recovered.

Courchaine identified the suspect as a 62-year-old male who was previously known to authorities, but did not disclose details on past warrants.

RCMP requested the assistance of the public in locating the man they believe to be the suspect, releasing a photo of the individual after the press conference. Charges included kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault on police and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Show his picture why am I looking at a cop?

[xGSFxGoat]

Knowing the RCMP, the internet will find him before these jokers do

[Sang-Je]

Throw away the key when u get this maniac. He will be lucky if the RCMP is the first to find him. Next time provide a photo of the goofball.

Good points made in comment section, you guys are running random emergency alerts but no alert of kidnapping was sent to residents this time.
Someone suggested to include pictures of kidnapped children and possible suspect in the alert system.

Wow that's Methed up! Sure glad the woman and child are ok....

[williamshort]

Those are some serious charges. If convicted, he may serve weeks in jail. Poor guy

[Tyler__]

Maybe next time don't let the criminal drive away...

[CDPW]

If they catch him they might tell him to say sorry and then send him home with a lollipop.

[Tyler__]

Why can't we know the warrants out on him?

[daganhaddad]

so how come no alert on rogers network?

[scottmcfarlane]

So you gave up and they kidnapped a person....maybe you should have done more in the 1st place

[goldmedals]

Nice to see a clean shaven Mountie for a change.

[Osprey-ol]

No real point in all the charges X3 and X2. Concurrent sentencing makes sure it’s only X1 and the other crimes are freebies.

[suzanneeckstein]

The rcmp botched this up as usual there still have been an amber alert ⚠️ put out

[skyboying]

he will be in healing louge for a week

[danyrizk]

As a man living all my life in Québec, I applaud this Canadian woman's French

[theuniverse]

Ypu failed to prevent a kidnapping by not stopping the individual, you guys are

[georgeduncan]

The perp may be armed and dangerous.
He is honking his horn, waving a red and white flag with maple leaf in the centre. The suspect may be carrying a bouncy castle as well as untapped hockey sticks.
Do not approach or ask for a autograph.

I can't hear anything..

I heard, " testing 1, 2.. testing 1, 2, 1, 2.. we good?"
