North Battleford RCMP have activated an Amber Alert as a result of the abduction of 6-year-old Emma O’Keeffe.

Emma is described as Caucasian, 3 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 44 lbs. She has brown, jaw-length hair and was last seen wearing a navy-blue, long sleeve t-shirt, black jeans, pink socks, no shoes, wearing a diaper. Emma suffers from epilepsy and autism. She is non-verbal and unable to walk.
Further to the Amber Alert, investigators have learned that 6-year-old Emma O’Keeffe requires medication every 12 hours. She requires this medication to be taken in a strict time frame. Missing a dose could lead to extreme medical distress.
Investigators would also like to alert gas stations across western Canada to be on the look out for this stolen SUV. The vehicle will require gas and may attempt to stop and fill up at some point.
