Barriere RCMP have released a composite sketch of a suspect believed to be responsible for an alleged attempted child abduction in that community last Friday.

Police say their investigation is still ongoing, and they’re asking people for help if they can identify the man pictured.

“Our investigators are turning to the public in an effort to further advance their ongoing investigation,” said Cpl. Rob Welsman. “Since the incident, a specially trained forensic artist met with the victim in order to create a composite sketch of the unknown man.”

Welsman says the unknown man has been described as approximately 40 years of age, standing 5’7″ with hazel eyes, brown short hair, and a brown full beard at least four inches in length, shaped to a point at the end.

The girl was able to free herself before running away after the alleged abduction attempt, which took place in the area of Dunn Lake Road and Barriere Town Road.

If you can identify the man, or have other information that could assist in the investigation, contact Barriere RCMP or Crimestoppers.
