Mounties are investigating a second luring incident in the town of Cochrane they say occurred just four days after a similar report this week.

Cochrane RCMP say at approximately 3:40 p.m. on June 2, two boys, aged eight and 11, were walking in the community when a suspicious male driving a white panel van approached them.

"The youths were able to run away and seek help from a parent," police said, adding that the man was seen driving along Carolina Crescent.

He is described as:

  • Light-coloured skin;
  • Orange/red hair with a beard; and
  • 40 to 50 years old.

Earlier this week, RCMP notified the public about a similar incident involving an 11-year-old girl who was approached by a male driving a van.

Police ask anyone with information about this latest incident, including any video surveillance or doorbell camera footage taken along Carolina Crescent, to contact them by calling 403-851-8000.
