Police are now saying they were contacted shortly after 9:00 a.m. after a 15-year-old girl was approached by an unknown man in a vehicle while walking in the 600 block of Brookside Rd in Colwood.
The man, in an older-model blue car with rust on the rear fenders, drove up to the girl and asked if she wanted to have a ride but left the area after she had ignored him, West Shore RCMP said in a news release.
The driver is described as about 60-70 years-old with rotted teeth. He was wearing a navy blue zip-up jacket and blue ballcap.
The vehicle was last seen near Latoria Road at Veterans Memorial Parkway.
“It is unknown to this date what the man’s intentions were. Police would like to speak with anyone who may have information on this man and/or vehicle,” Cst. Alex Bérubé said in a media release.
If seen, call the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
