Man allegedly tries to lure group of Surrey children into his car

Surrey RCMP are alerting the public about a disturbing incident where a man allegedly tried to lure a group of children into his car.

The man allegedly pulled up to a group of six kids outside a housing complex in Clayton Heights on October 8 and asked them if they wanted photos outside and inside his vehicle, Cpl. Joanie Sidhu said.

He was driving a standard luxury sedan, Sidhu added, making the picture request even more strange.

The kids ran off to tell their parents, and the man drove away.
