A 63-year-old woman with dementia who was in a vehicle allegedly stolen while parked at a gas station was found safe nearly 10 hours after an unknown suspect jumped into the driver’s seat and took off with her still in the back, Winnipeg Police said Saturday.
Police had issued a Silver Alert for the woman early Saturday morning, which Const. Jay Murray said allowed police to release the fact that she had dementia—something he said could be important knowledge for anyone who found her.
