Police say a man driving a white pickup truck stopped and said “Hey kid want a ride home?” He then yelled at the nine-year-old who ran away.
According the the child, the suspect has long hair and “dressed like a cowboy or farmer” because of the brown vest he was wearing.
RCMP are asking anyone with information to contact the Armstrong detachment at 250-546-3028 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
