RCMP in northern BC have issued an Amber Alert for two children believed to have been abducted in Fort St. John.
The alert, which was issued just after 12 p.m. Saturday, stated that 4-year-old Liam Bellamy and 10-month-old Myra Bellamy were allegedly abducted from 8919 91st Street in the northeastern BC city around 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 24th.
The suspect is the children’s father, 36-year-old Jason Dalrymple.
According to the alert, the children may be travelling with the suspect and their mother, Dawn Bellamy, in a 2004 olive green Jeep Grand Cherokee with BC licence plate number HT184A.
In a release, RCMP say they have grounds to believe that the suspect has taken the two children and their mother against their will, and say that they could be in danger while in his presence.
Liam is described as having short, dark brown hair with brown eyes, while his baby sister Myra has very light hair with blue-hazel eyes.
Police say their father is balding and often wears hats or toques, and he has a moustache or goatee that’s light brown and reddish in colour.
The children’s 23-year-old mother is described as being Indigenous with dark brown hair, brown eyes and potentially wearing blue glasses.
The amber alert was issued across BC, including Vancouver Island.
Anyone who sees the vehicle or the family is advised not to approach, but instead to call 911.
