RCMP are searching for a girl in the Timberlea area.
They say she’s between 3 and 5 years old and was wearing a pink dress.
She was last seen at the playground next to St. Martha’s School at 4:30 PM.
The information was not made public until after 6 o’clock.
She left with a white man, wearing beige camouflage, beige shorts and a baseball cap.
If you were anywhere near St. Martha’s this afternoon, or have any other information, call 788 4000.
Police say they do not know for sure if this is a kidnapping – the man may simply have been a parent or guardian; they’re working to find out right now.
