LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service is investigating a report about two suspicious men who offered a 10-year-old girl a ride to school earlier this week.

Police say the girl was waiting for a school bus near 18 Street and 18 Avenue North on Monday, May 6 around 8:10 a.m. when the two men spoke to her from a vehicle parked along the curb.

They told the child that they knew her father, and they were supposed to give her a ride to school, but she didn’t recognize them.

Nothing about being picked up had been communicated to her by her parents, so she did not go with them, and the subjects left the scene without incident.
