Police are warning about a man they think tried to lure an 11-year-old girl into a van in Whitby.
The girl says she was walking home from school when a black van slowed down beside her at about 3:30 p.m. Friday near Thickson and Taunton Rds.
The driver slowly drove alongside the girl, police say, and called out to her. He allegedly told her he knew her mother and told her to get in the van.
Police say the girl ignored the man and quickly walked away, telling her parents what happened.
Officers are now looking for a black van, larger than a mini-van, with tinted windows.
The suspect is described as white, mid 20s to 30s, with dirty blond hair. He was wearing a black hoodie and possibly gold rings on his right hand.
