A Winnipeg senior has been charged with attempted abduction and criminal harassment after an incident involving a teenage victim Monday afternoon, police said.
The incident took place around 12:15 p.m. in East Kildonan, when a 17-year-old girl walking to school was approached by an elderly man, who demanded she get into his white van.
The girl refused and ran home. Her parents then found the van a short distance away and reported the incident to police, giving them the vehicle’s licence plate and description.
