PRINCE GEORGE—RCMP in the Cariboo have responded to two different events in the span of a week involving a suspicious person and a child, and are reminding parents to speak to their children about safety.
“It doesn’t appear that either of these incidents are related to each other, but both of them are concerning,” said Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet, Senior Media Relations Officer for the BC RCMP to CKPG News.

Earlier this week a child was reported to have been grabbed and dragged by an unknown person while on a walk with his parents in Quesnel, while the second incident took place in Williams Lake as a girl was walking home from school. Police say a man called out to her from his vehicle asking her to get in.
