Saskatoon police are looking for a suspect who tried to abduct a 75-year-old woman from a campground while threatening her at knifepoint and stealing her truck.
At around 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday, officers were called to the campground in the 1600 block of Avenue P South for a report of a robbery in progress, Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) said in a release.
The 75-year-old woman was inside her camper when she saw a woman she didn’t know stealing her bike from her campsite.
When the senior woman confronted the thief, she was threatened by a knife and asked to return to her camper.
Then the thief followed the victim into the camper and stole her truck keys and several other belongings.
“The victim was again held at knife-point while the suspect made her load the stolen items into the truck and demanded that she get in the back seat,” police said.
“As the suspect started the truck, the woman escaped to a neighbouring campsite to call for help.”
