Search continues for Quebec man whose vehicle was used in Amber Alert case
MONTREAL — The Quebec man whose vehicle was linked to an Amber Alert case last week remained missing on Tuesday despite intensive searches by Quebec’s provincial police.
Police spent a fifth day looking for Yvon Lacasse, 71, along a roughly 100-kilometre stretch of highway between Val-d’Or and Rouyn-Noranda in northwestern Quebec, said Sgt. Marc Tessier.
Tessier said officers, canine units and a helicopter were involved in the search operation.
Lacasse, of Lachute, Que., hasn’t been heard from since his car was stolen late Thursday at a rest area in that town about 80 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
