North Vancouver RCMP are looking for witnesses to a suspicious incident that occurred near West 13th St and Mahon Ave on Monday, December 4th, 2023, at around 12:30 p.m.

A 10-year-old boy was walking to a friend’s house on the north side of West 13th St and Mahon Ave near the cross walk when a white truck drove by. The passenger of the truck asked the boy if he wanted candy. The boy became suspicious of the male and ran the opposite direction toward a nearby library. The boy later reported the incident to his parents and they reported the incident to police.

There was no contact made by the suspect and nothing further was said.

The truck is described as white in colour, not new or old and possibly a two door. The passenger was described as:

• Caucasian
• Black facial hair
• Black messy hair
