It’s unclear why police are concerned for the pair’s well-being. “From all accounts, Ms. Armstrong left on her own accord with her son, but her ability to care for him is unknown,” acting Sgt. Jeff

Scott, with the New West police, said in a statement. “At this point, there is no criminal investigation and although they have been seen in Mission, we need to confirm their well-being.” Armstrong has blond hair and has been seen with her child driving an older model, unlicenced fourdoor white Hyundai Excel. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-525-5411.
