The RGPF was questioned if anyone had come forward with a tip to claim the award that was being offered.
ACP Curwen responded: “I do not know that anyone has come forward. We will wait to see in the coming days whether anybody will but at this point, we do have have any information from anybody coming forward to claim that reward.”
