Parents at an Armstrong school are being advised of an incident involving a student.

Armstrong Elementary has posted a safety bulletin on Facebook and a letter was sent home Monday.

“On Thursday Feb,. 16 at 3 p.m., one of our students was asked if he wanted a ride by a man dark brown hair and glasses,” said principal Denise Brown in the bulletin.

“The man was unknown to the child and is possibly in his mid 40s. This happened when the student was walking home from school at 3 p.m. on Okanagan Street. The student reported this to his parent and she contacted both the school and the RCMP.”

The individual was driving a black SUV, possibly a Suzuki sidekick or a small Chevy truck.

“Please help our students and community by discussing this important safety bulletin with your children,” said Brown.
