A man attempted to lure a 14-year-old girl into a minivan earlier this month and Vancouver police are looking for witnesses.
At around 3 p.m., the girl was walking outside Killarney Secondary School on East 49 Avenue near Killarney Street when the man, who appeared to be in his 60’s, yelled at her to get in his vehicle.
The teenager tried to run away but the man, who had grey or white hair, followed her for a block and yelled obscenities at her.
“This must have been a frightening and unsettling experience for this teenager, who was just walking home from school when she was approached by a man who made her feel unsafe,” says Sgt. Steve Addison in a news release.
“She did exactly what she was supposed to do, by quickly going somewhere safe and reporting the incident to a trusted adult.”
Police now want to speak to the driver of the minivan, which is red with tinted windows.
Anyone with information, or anyone with dash cam video from May 7 between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. in the area of East 49th and Killarney Street, is asked to call investigators at 604-717-0600.
