RCMP in Merritt, B.C., are looking for a white van involved in an alleged attempt to lure children at a local 7-Eleven.
Police say the van pulled in to the convenience store on Nicola Avenue around 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Two men inside the vehicle then allegedly tried to lure a pair of young girls into the van, Merritt RCMP said in a media release.
The girls refused, and the van drove away eastbound on Nicola Avenue, police said.
Investigators are now looking for a white panel van with ladders attached to the roof.
