A woman, 33, is missing following an early-morning armed carjacking that took place on Railway Avenue East on February 14. 

According to Battleford RCMP, officers were called at about 5 a.m. CST after a man reportedly approached a vehicle occupied by two adult women, threatened them with a firearm, and stole the vehicle.

Police said one of the women, identified as Leanna Frenchman, remained inside when the suspect fled.

The second car occupant managed to leave the vehicle before it sped away and was not physically harmed.

Frenchman may be with the armed male suspect, whom she does not know. 

Authorities are unsure of their destination.
