On Sunday, July 31, 2016, the Abbotsford Police Department received a call for assistance at a residence in central Abbotsford.
A 16-year-old girl had been dropped off at that location and she was both upset and intoxicated. Unknown Good Samaritans had spotted her on the side of the road and transported her to her home.
She and her friend had gone out earlier in the evening but the girl was unclear on many of the events that occurred and had become separated from her 14-year-old friend.
One of the girl’s parents went looking for the 14-year-old friend and located her nearby. She also appeared intoxicated and showed symptoms indicative of GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate) consumption. Both of the girls were taken to hospital for treatment.
Although they have been released, an APD investigation continues related to the incident including the possible ingestion of GHB.
To this point we believe the girls were in the area of the Matsqui Recreation Centre and skateboard park in the 3100 block of Clearbrook Road between 11:00 pm on Saturday, July 30 and 1:00 am on Sunday, July 31.
Police are hoping to speak with the Good Samaritans who helped get the 16-year-old girl home.
