RCMP are reporting a suspicious incident that happened over the noon hour Wednesday in Biggar

Police received a complaint about a vehicle that approached a nine-year old girl who was walking home from school.

The man rolled the window down just far enough for him to look out and asked if she wanted to see a puppy. The girl did not approach the vehicle, told her mother and the incident was reported to RCMP. 

Extensive patrols were conducted and continued for the rest of the school day, but the vehicle was not located.

The truck is described as either a two- or four-door shiny red truck with tinted windows, which may include side windows. A description of the male driver is not known. The investigation is continuing. 

RCMP are urging parents and caregivers to take this opportunity to remind children not to engage in any conversation or to approach a vehicle in this situation, and to report incidents such as this one immediately to parents, caregivers or teachers.
