An investigation is underway after an attempted possible child abduction in Victoria.
At around 2:50 p.m. on Nov.18, a 10-year-old girl was walking on Rainville Rd when a suspicious man approached her. The man was driving a white-panel van and asked her to get in the vehicle.
Police say the elementary school student was able to run away quickly and tell her family.
The suspect is described as a 30-year-old Caucasian male with black greasy hair and a goatee. He was wearing a navy-blue shirt with grey jeans.
The van is white with no side or rear windows, dirty and with scratches on the side. There was garbage on the passenger-side wheel well.
The West Shore RCMP’s Major Crime Unit is currently investigating the case and are asking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed what happened.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS.
