“We believe that Caleb is actively evading police,” S/Sgt. Scott West says. “He is required to abide by a curfew and be inside his Salmon Arm residence every night, a condition which he is now breaching. A warrant has now been issued for his arrest.”

Caleb Gerbrandt and his daughters are believed to be traveling in a 2006 Grey Dodge Grand Caravan with B.C. license plate NE961N and may possibly be heading to the Vancouver area or Vancouver Island.
