Police in London are looking to identify a man who reportedly tried to lure a young girl with money.
The London Police Service said the girl was walking in the area of Conway Drive and Cheswick Circle on Friday at around 9:40 a.m. when she was approached by a man, who offered her a quantity of money to accompany him to a nearby park. The girl refused and continued walking, but the man followed and tried to start up a conversation. The girl entered a business in the area of Ernest Avenue and Bradley Avenue, where the man waited outside before eventually leaving the area when she did not come out. He was last seen walking west on Conway Drive.
The girl told her parents what happened and police were notified.
The man is described as Caucasian, in his 50s, with a slim to medium build, greyish/brown short hair, a greyish short beard, and he spoke with an accent. He was last seen wearing a black hat, a black jacket, black pants, black boots, and he was also smoking cigarettes from a blue and white package.
An investigation is ongoing and anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
