Prince Albert police are warning people of possible suspicious activity in the city after several youth were approached on three separate occasions over a four-day period.

The first happened just after 8 p.m. CT on March 12 in the 3000-block of 6th Avenue East when a man in a grey Dodge pickup truck with a black grill asked two girls who were walking if they wanted to get into his truck.

Police said the youth said no and started to walk away.

The man then drove off.

He is described as in his 40s with dark curly hair.

The next occurrence took place early in the evening three days later when a boy said he was approached by a man driving a two-door car on Bowerman Crescent.

The youth told police he ran away after the man opened the door, said he had candy, and asked him to get in.

The following day, two youth said they were walking in the 1600 Block of 15th Street West when they felt they were being followed by a car.

They told police a man driving a newer white car then pointed at them before driving away without saying anything.

Investigators have not yet determined if there is any connection between the three incidents.

Police said parents and caregivers should talk with children and students to ensure they have a planned route walking to and from school, to stay on main roads, never talk to strangers, and report suspicious activity immediately.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Prince Albert police at 306-953-4222.
