Officers made contact with the man and his children in the Courtenay-Comox area and found no one was hurt.

“Thanks to the public for the tips.”
On Friday around 3 p.m. police say the transmission was reported to them.
A girl was heard on the radio channel stating “help my dad” twice, a local company monitoring the channel responded and the female stated that her name was “Connie” and her dad was “Ty” and that “he is the boss”.
The transmission was off a repeater on Mt. Washington, meaning the transmission could have originated anywhere from Comox to Sayward.
