Police Investigating Possible Abduction Attempt

London police want to speak with a man after what may have been an attempted abduction.

Police say a young girl reported being approached by a man in a van in the area of Stoneybrook Cr. and Hastings Gate on Thursday morning.

Around 8:45, the girl was walking along when she was approached by a white, older model Astro Van or Safari van. Witness say it had black bumpers and tinted rear windows.

According to police, the van stopped beside the girl and the driver told her that her mother said she should go with him.

The girl wasn't harmed, nor was she approached any further by the man.

He is described as a Caucasian male, in his early 60s, with white or grey hair.

Police are taking the opportunity to remind parents to talk about street safety with their kids.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in on-line anonymously to www.londoncrimestoppers.com.
