The Greater Sudbury Police Service is currently investigating a number of complaints after children and teenagers in different parts of the city have been approached by men offering them a ride or asking for directions.
In these incidents, the victims reacted correctly by refusing
the assistance and continuing on their way.  Some were
also able to provide police with descriptions of vehicles
and/or drivers.  
In two of these cases, the suspects made physical contact with the victims. There were no injuries and the students managed to run to a place of safety.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have approached and spoken to youngsters for any purpose, in order to explain the reason for the contact with the child.

late 30s)
