Vancouver police are investigating an incident of alleged child luring in Vancouver’s West Point Grey neighbourhood.
The incident happened on Wednesday around 3:30 p.m.
Police say a 12-year-old girl was riding her bike on West Sixth Ave between Trimble and Sasamat streets when a man in a grey or silver car told her to “come into my car.”
The young girl was scared, and rode home to tell her mother what had happened, police said.
“As terrifying a situation like this could be for a young child, she showed her bravery and did the right thing by not engaging with the male,” Vancouver police spokesperson Const. Tania Visintin said. “We commend her for her courage.”
