The Kelowna RCMP is investigating a report of a man approaching a child on Monday afternoon, Jan. 4.
A 10-year-old Kelowna girl was walking home from school in the area of Hollywood Road South near Perry Road when an unknown man told her he knew her mother and asked if she wanted a ride home. The girl declined the offer and the man drove away.

“This child did exactly the right thing in this situation,” Kelowna RCMP’s Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy said. “This incident is concerning, and we are very interested in identifying the man involved in it.”
