Suspicious activity with van

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Nov, 2024 10:21 AM
  • Suspicious activity with van

Police in Metro Vancouver say they're investigating two reports of suspicious interactions involving a man driving a white van approaching young girls.

New Westminster police say they received the second report after issuing a public statement about the first interaction involving two 12-year-old girls on October 26th.

They say investigators are now looking into a report of a similar incident that occurred on October 17th along Seventh Avenue between Second and Fourth streets, and they're asking anyone with dash-camera footage to contact them.

In that case, police say two young girls were walking at around 4:45 p-m when a white cargo-style van pulled up next to them and the driver, described as a man with a dark complexion, opened his door.
