麻豆传媒映画police are asking people to come forward with dashcam video footage to help in the investigation of an attempted child abduction earlier this week.
At about 3:20 p.m. on Jan. 7, a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school in the area of East 50th Avenue and Fraser Street when she was approached by a red minivan.
Police said the driver got out of the van and asked the girl if she wanted to come with him. She said no and ran back to her school where she alerted school administration.
The next day, 麻豆传媒映画police released photos of a red minivan with tinted windows and a red work ladder attached to the roof, which is believed to have been in the area around the time of the attempted abduction.
