Male Identified in Case of Youth Offered a Ride in Listowel

Perth County OPP advise residents that it has identified the male involved in a suspicious person report and he has been spoken to about his conduct.

This follows an incident on May 4th when police received a report of an incident around 2:45pm on Inkerman Street East.

A 14 year old girl was approached by the male and asked for directions to a residence. The youth gave the directions but the man asked if she could get in the vehicle multiple times to help find the house. The youth wisely declined.

Police encourage parents to regularly engage in personal safety conversations with their children. Tips and resources can be found at opp.ca or at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection at protectchildren.ca.
