Child luring suspect on loose

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Sep, 2023 10:02 AM
  • Child luring suspect on loose

Police in Summerland are looking for a man who tried to lure a child into his vehicle last week.

Summerland R-C-M-P say a 10-year-old girl reported on Sept. 20 that a Caucasian male about 40 years of age approached the girl in his red truck while she was walking along Kelly Avenue on her way to Giants Head Elementary.

Police say the man asked the girl if she wanted a ride to school, prompting the girl to run away in the opposite direction.

The man did not follow the girl, and police are asking the public to contact investigators if they have any information on the case or experienced similar incidents recently.
