Winnipeg Police are investigating after a man in a vehicle approached a child while walking to school in Elmwood earlier this week. 

On Wednesday, around 12:30 p.m., a 10-year-old was walking to school near Watt Street and Thames Avenue when a vehicle pulled up beside him. An unknown man exited the car and asked the boy if he wanted candy. The child declined, and the stranger offered him candy a second time. The child quickly ran to safety and reported the incident to the school.

The suspect is described as a tall white adult male with a thin build, wearing a black sweater with “Zoo York” written on the side, grey pants, with red/yellow shoes.
 
The vehicle is described as a small darker blue car.
 
The Child Abuse Unit has taken over this investigation.  Anyone with information, including home surveillance in this area, is asked to call police.
