On Friday, police said that detectives from the Vancouver Police Department’s sex crimes unit and youth services section had investigated tips, interviewed staff and students, canvassed the neighbourhood and reviewed multiple videos but “have been unable to corroborate the information initially provided to police.”
“We feel this is an important update for parents, staff, students and the broader community to be aware of,” said Sgt. Jason Robillard in a media release.
“Investigating any allegation that affects one’s personal safety, especially the health and safety of a child, is a priority for the Vancouver Police.”
