RCMP are just now releasing details about three incidents this fall involving a person approaching students around North Okanagan schools. The most recent case was near Kidston Elementary in Coldstream last week, where a man in a black truck stopped to ask a boy if he wanted a ride. RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says there were similar incidents at Kidston (in September) and in Lumby (October). "In each of the complaints the person approached was a boy, approximately ten years of age, and the driver asked if he wanted a ride. When the child said no, he (driver) just left. We just want to make the public aware that this has happened." Molendyk says the incidents were not attempted abductions but he encourages parents to talk to their kids about safety and strangers. "It would appear in each case, the boy has been by himself, so we're encouraging parents to have children travel in pairs, in a group or with an adult."
