Man offers teen a ride

Parents of school-aged children in the Armstrong area were sent a notice from officials regarding an odd incident in the North Okanagan community.

The notice said on Oct. 19 a man in a white truck approached a high school student and asked if he wanted a ride.

The student said no and walked away, the man drove away and turned down Royal York Golf Road.

Armstrong RCMP Sgt. Kara Triance said police are aware of the incident.

Triance said the man was not acting aggressive and did not make any effort to entice the 13-year-old boy into his vehicle.

Triance said the student “didn't like it and was concerning for him” but added there have been no other reports of a similar nature.
