International AMBER Alert Plan Success Story
Canada
Montreal, Quebec
July 14, 2003
A 17-year-old girl was abducted by her 19-year-old ex-boyfriend after
she decided to end their relationship. The man threatened the girl with
a knife and forced her into her father’s car. A neighbor witnessed
the abduction and contacted authorities. When authorities found the suspect
had a criminal record, an AMBER Alert
was issued throughout Quebec. A person heard the Alert on the radio, noticed
the stolen vehicle was right in front of him, and quickly dialed 9-1-1.
The suspect was captured and arrested, and the girl was safely recovered.
