Prince George RCMP received a report of what they refer to as a suspicious event near 17th Avenue and Hemlock Street this morning (Wednesday) just after 8:00.
“There was a report from a student that was walking to their elementary school, they were approached by a driver in a car who offered them some food and the student continued on to school and reported it to the principal,” said Jennifer Cooper, PG RCMP.
The driver allegedly got out of the vehicle and spoke further with the youth who then left the area.
The driver is described as:
• Caucasian male
• Dark hair
• Approximately 5’10”
• Muscular build
• Wearing a grey sweatshirt
The vehicle is described as:
• Green in colour
• 4-door, possibly a hatchback
• Possibly an import model
The Prince George RCMP would like anyone in that area with security cameras to contact them at 250-561-3300.
While the investigation is ongoing, police would also like to remind the public that it is not appropriate to approach school-aged children not known to you.
