Kelowna RCMP say a child who was approached by a stranger on Monday afternoon did the right thing by saying no.
According to police, the 10-year-old girl was walking home alone after school in the area of Hollywood Road South, near Perry Road, when an unknown man asked her if she wanted a ride home.
RCMP say the man was parked in an older black minivan and told the girl that he knew her mother.
The girl declined, with the man then driving away.
“This child did exactly the right thing in this situation,” said Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “This incident is concerning, and we are very interested in identifying the man involved in it.”
The man was last seen wearing a black hoody and a black facemask.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or by leaving a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net.
