RCMP are looking for the driver of a tan coloured vehicle with tinted windows after a suspicious incident near Van Bien Elementary yesterday afternoon (Monday).

Police received a report that between the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. a young child was walking home from school on the 300 block of Wilson Crescent.

The youth reports a vehicle approached him and the male driver attempted to get the youth into his vehicle.
