Police in Fort Saskatchewan say a suspect from Edmonton picked up a six-year-old boy who was playing outside and took him to a convenience store before returning him home.
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP say a 29-year-old from Edmonton was arrested and is in custody with charges pending.
Investigators say the child was playing outside Monday when a delivery driver offered to bring him to a 7-Eleven convenience store for candy and a “slurpee.”
“The suspect took the victim to a 7-Eleven purchasing several items and brought the victim back home where the victim told his parent,” Fort Saskatchewan RCMP said in a news release.
Mounties then received a report of an abducted child. They say they quickly identified and located the suspect.
