The youth were walking along the road when approached by two individuals in a vehicle. One of the vehicle occupants asked one youth to get inside their vehicle. The youth fled from the vehicle.
An officer attended the area and did extensive patrols; however, did not locate the vehicle.
The vehicle is described as a blue or grey coloured cross-over
style vehicle.
If you have any information about identity of the occupants or the whereabouts of the vehicle, or any video surveillance in the vicinity of the incident area, please call the Trail Detachment at 250-364-2566 to speak to an investigator.
We would like to identify the occupants and the vehicle to further our investigation. We would like the community to be aware of the incident and report on anything similarly suspicious,
