Ontario Provincial Police To Review Amber Alert Response

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Apr, 2016 11:03 AM
    Ontario provincial police say they are reviewing their response to an Amber Alert issued Monday after a four-year-old girl was allegedly abducted by her father.
     
    The alert was issued more than four hours after the girl was allegedly snatched from her mother's house in Aurora, Ont., north of Toronto.
     
    Provincial police have said that is when they received information that suggested the child's life was in danger.
     
    Officers spotted the man's vehicle shortly afterward near Bancroft, Ont., and tried to stop it several times before calling off the chase.
     
    The vehicle was later found rolled over in Pembroke, Ont., and police said the girl was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
     
    OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae says York Regional Police, which requested the Amber Alert, can also seek feedback on its handling of the case from a provincial steering committee.
