On February 14, 2014, the Sarnia Police issued the following Media Release regarding a suspicious in the north-end of Sarnia.
“Sarnia Police Service is investigating an incident involving a suspicious male in the north end portion of the city. The incident took place on Thursday, February 13, 2014 at approximately 3:35 PM as a 13 year old girl was walking home from Cathcart Public School. As she approached her home she noticed a small black four door car idling in front of the neighbor’s house. The driver of the car was described as a white male with grey hair and short grey beard. The man was wearing what were described as reading glasses.
As the young girl walked by the car, the driver honked his horn and the girl ran to her home. The car sped into the driveway and the man got out and knocked on the door 3 or 4 times. After getting no response at the door the man got back into his car and left the area.”
As a result of this Media Release, a Sarnia male contacted the Sarnia Police and advised that he believed was the suspicious male referred to in the release. The information he provided was consistent with the report from young girl. The male indicated that he was in the area delivering a package for a local business and he attempted to communicate with the young girl to enquire about her neighbours and perhaps leave the package with the young girl’s family. The information regarding the delivery of the package was confirmed through the male’s employer. As a result of this information, there will be no further follow-up in this matter. The Sarnia Police Service would like to thank local media outlets for their assistance in resolving this matter and would like to reiterate that the young girl took the proper action in this circumstance.
