    Ridge Meadows RCMP received a report about a man who approached a girl near Golden Ears Elementary School on March 11 at about 4:30 p.m.


    Mounties say he offered her a ride but she said "no" and arrived home safely.


    The man left the area in a vehicle without further incident.

    "Police are trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle here and would like to speak with the alleged suspect. If you know who this person may be please contact us."
