Richmond RCMP is applauding the safety instincts of a 13-year-old girl following a recent incident.
The girl was walking in the 3700 block of Broadway Street near Steveston United Church yesterday (March 3) around 5 p.m. when she was allegedly approached by a suspicious man driving a dark-coloured vehicle.
“It is alleged that this man appeared friendly and offered her a ride, which was refused. The man then offered money as an enticement for a ride which was also rightly refused. When the teen arrived at home, she immediately notified her mother. It was then that we became actively involved, launching our investigation,” says Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “The Richmond RCMP would like to remind the community to continue educating your family members about strangers, trusting your inner voice, and reporting any suspicious activities to police immediately.”
Anyone with information on this incident is urged to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file #2022-5733. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
