“Any encounters that involve meeting up with unknown individuals that take place behind closed doors, brings about inherent risk to all parties involved,” warns RCMP, who have some safety tips for the public who are meeting up with people they don’t know:

• Do not use drugs or alcohol that can impair your ability to keep yourself safe;
• Do not consume anything provided to you by the other person;
• Do not have valuables easily accessible;
• Use a buddy system so that someone knows where you are and can contact police should you not check in with them.
