VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Vancouver police are looking for witnesses after a stranger tried to lure a teenaged girl into a van outside Killarney Secondary School earlier this month.
On May 7 around 3 p.m., a 14-year-old girl was walking home from school when she was approached by man in a dark red minivan with tinted windows.
“The male driver, who appeared to be in his 60s and had grey or white hair, yelled at the girl to get in the car. She ran away, but the driver followed her for about a block and yelled obscenities at her,” says a statement from police.

“We applaud this victim, who immediately reported the incident to a family member, and later called VPD. This allowed our investigators to canvass the area and find video surveillance of the suspect’s van.”
Anyone with information, or who has dashcam footage from the area of East 49th Avenue and Killarney Street between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. is asked to call the VPD at 604-717-0600.
