Police are asking the public to help locate a witness after what they're calling a "suspicious occurrence" with a teenage girl.
The incident happened Monday, April 17 around 8:20 a.m. in the 8600-block of 159 Street in Surrey's Fleetwood neighbourhood.
"Surrey RCMP received a report that a man who was not known offered a 13-year-old student a ride to school to her," states the Surrey RCMP, noting they weren't alerted until 11:45 a.m.
The interaction between the man and the 13-year-old was interrupted by a woman walking her dog; she ended up speaking to the teen after the man drove away.
Mounties are now looking to speak to this woman in an effort to advance the investigation.
"The witness is described as a woman in her 20s, wearing a black coat and walking a small beige poodle," state police.
The man is described as a "black male, 30-40 years old, clean-shaven driving a black SUV," according to a press release from the Surrey RCMP.
Investigators are looking for both.
“The intentions of this man are unknown and investigators are working to identify all involved parties in order to determine the intent of the interaction,” says Surrey RCMP spokesperson Corp. Vanessa Munn in the press release. “We are asking anyone with information to reach out to police.”
If you have information on the incident or individuals, the Surrey RCMP can be contacted at 1-604-599-0502.
