Police are seeking help from the public as they investigate reports a man asked children outside a public elementary school in Hamilton’s east end if they wanted a ride to get ice cream.
Investigators are asking residents or drivers who were near WH Ballard Public Elementary School on Dunsmure Road around 3 p.m. on Thursday and may have seen the “stranger” to reach out to police.
The person of interest, believed to be in his 60s, was driving a grey/silver Honda Ridgeline with dark tinted windows, according to Hamilton police.
He’s described as a bearded man who wore a black T-shirt and had a “stocky build.”
Detectives are also looking for security cam footage from businesses and residences between the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Dec. 15.
Anyone with information can reach out to Hamilton police.
