RCMP searching for strange man who approached two young boys

Stranger danger in Mission

Kelowna RCMP is investigating a report that two young children were approached by a strange man in a pickup in the Upper Mission on Monday afternoon.

RCMP say they received a report that a man drove up to two boys on Arbor View Drive in the Upper Mission at approximately 1:30 p.m. and asked them if they wanted to get into his vehicle.

"The two boys said no, and the man drove away. He apparently was seen by the boys several times again during that time period," states a news release from Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy of the Kelowna RCMP.

The unknown man was described as having a prominent nose, and was driving a dark grey or black older model pickup truck.

“We are actively working to identify the man and determine his intentions. We are also working to determine if this incident is related in any way to the other suspicious person reports we’ve received recently,” says Cpl. Noseworthy. “This incident is concerning, and we are appealing to any witnesses, or persons with surveillance video or dashcam footage, to come forward and speak with us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
