Vancouver police have identified a suspect in a reported attempted child abduction, and are appealing for more video evidence in the case.
According to police, it happened around 3:30 p.m. near Kerr Street and Southeast Marine Drive as a 13-year-old girl was walking home from school.
Police said a man driving a black, four-door Audi A4 with a grey interior followed the girl, police said, before stopping and telling her to get in.
“The man driving the vehicle saw the news coverage about the attempted abduction and met and spoke with our detectives,” Vancouver police Const. Jason Doucette said in a media release Saturday.
