Edmonton woman sought Canada-wide over road rage incident in Mission, B.C. | Globalnews.ca
Police are renewing their appeal to locate an Edmonton woman allegedly involved in a violent road rage incident in Mission, B.C., in early September.
Amber Jenelle Toews, 35, has been charged with assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and mischief under $5,000 in the Sept. 8 incident.
Police allege that Toews and an Edmonton man, Johnathan Hebrada-Walters, attacked a young couple with a baseball bat at a drive-thru on Lougheed Highway and Cedar Valley Connector, after the victims honked at them to move forward in line.
Weeks later, Hebrada-Walters was shot dead in Langley. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) believes the killing was linked to the B.C. gang conflict and unrelated to the road rage incident.
Police continue to seek Toews on a Canada-wide warrant, and RCMP in B.C. has been working with police in Alberta to try and locate her.
