On Wednesday, August 3, 2016 at approximately 7:30 p.m., police were contacted by a concerned parent of a 15-year-old female after they were informed by their daughter about an incident that had just occurred.

Through the course of investigation, it was determined that the female was walking along Windecker Road when a dual wheeled pickup truck approached her. The driver began to speak to her through the open passenger side window of the tuck asking if she would like a ride as she had a long way to walk and to get in the truck. The ride was declined at which time the driver accelerated from the area at a high rate of speed.

Police were then informed that this has been the third occurrence with this same unknown male however in the other two incidents the same male drove and older red coloured Chevrolet vehicle. At no time during the previous two incidents did the driver speak to the female.

The vehicle is described as a black coloured Ford dual wheeled pickup truck.

The driver was described as a white male, approximately 60 to 70 years old, with longer black and grey hair with bad teeth and was wearing a dark t-shirt.

Police are urging all parents and caregivers to speak to their children about who a stranger is, and also the people they can trust. We don’t want our children to be paranoid, but alert and wary of people they don’t know.

What does a stranger look like? They can be young or old, male or female.

Children need to understand that if someone they don’t know approaches them to offer a ride, ask for directions, takes an interest in what they doing, offers them something for free or want help looking for something, such as a lost animal they need to step back, say no thank you and run to a safe place (school, home, police station etc.) and immediately tell an adult they trust.
