Halifax District RCMP is investigating two suspicious incidents of men approaching youth in the Lower Sackville area.
The first incident was reported on Friday, June 4 just after 11 a.m. when officers responded to a junior high school in Lower Sackville, after it was reported a man had approached one of the students at recess and requested they come with him.
The man left when the youth said no. Extensive patrols of the area were made but police couldn’t find anyone.
Later that same day, just before 8:00 p.m., the Lower Sackville Detachment were contacted about another man who had approached two children at a park near Westpoint Drive in Lucasville.
The man had tried to get one of the children to come with him. The children were able to leave the park and report to a parent.
The first man is described as being in his 20s, with a beard, tanned skin and dark hair in a bun with a blue or purple streak in it. The man was wearing a black face mask, a black hoodie, and pants with flames on them.
The second is described as approximately 30-years-old, wearing a black beret, a black coat, and blue jeans.
The investigation is currently ongoing, and the two incidents are not believed to be linked.
RCMP would like to speak to these two persons of interest regarding the circumstances of the interactions.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to contact the Halifax District RCMP at 902-490-5020. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or use the P3 Tips App.
