Delta police are warning the public after a man in a minivan followed a girl home after school on Thursday.

According to police, it happened after school hours near Gray Elementary on 82nd Avenue.

The girl said she made eye contact with the van’s driver, who smiled at her.

She ignored him, and continued walking, but noticed the vehicle was following her at a slow pace.

Police said the driver then pulled over and offered the girl a ride home. The girl said ‘no,’ and ran home where her father called 9-1-1, police said.
