RCMP are warning parents to keep a vigilant eye on their children after there was a report of a man attempting to lure a child into his truck in Airdrie.
After a boy was dropped off by his mother at school, a man asked the boy to get into his vehicle before the boy walked into the school.
Police are calling this an isolated incident and said the community isn’t in immediate danger.
The suspicious man was said to be driving a blue truck.
The RCMP is encouraging parents to educate their children about strangers and what to do if they are approached by someone they do not recognize.
“Develop a list of ‘strangers and friends’ and talk about what to do in the event you are approached by a stranger to help them understand who is safe to speak and engage with,” said Cst. Rob Frizzell.
RCMP is asking for public assistance in locating the vandals who defaced Airdrie Koinonia Christian School, Sept. 10.
Spray paint was used on a school bus, windows were smashed on the building and an exterior wall of the school was tagged with the word “injustice.” Clean up costs are estimated at less than $5,000.
