Police in Central Newfoundland have issued a warning after two men allegedly attempted to lure a youth into their truck.
Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP say the incident happened on Main Street in Bishop’s Falls around 5:00, Thursday afternoon.
Two men in a truck slowed down and approached a young girl. The passenger rolled down his window and asked the girl for her name, and then asked her to get into the truck, saying he had something for her. The child didn’t give her name and didn’t get into the vehicle. The truck proceeded down Main Street.
The truck is described as an older model, in grey or silver. The passenger side door has a dent and some visible rust. The man who spoke with the youth has brownish-coloured hair.
RCMP ask parents to speak to their children on the importance of never accepting a ride from a stranger.
Anyone who has information on a vehicle matching that description is asked to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
