Steinbach RCMP are looking for information after a man yelled at a young girl to get into his vehicle.

Police received the report on Thursday of a suspicious person in the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne. At approximately 3 pm, a male in what is believed to be a purple Pontiac Torrent with round lights, approached a female youth walking along Provincial Road 210 near the path connecting to the Seine River Crossing.

Police say the vehicle allegedly pulled up in front of her and the man yelled at her twice to get into the sport utility vehicle. She was able to run away safely and observed the vehicle drive away along PR 210 towards La Broquerie.

The male is described as heavier set, believed to be in his mid to late 40's, with red hair that was below his ears in length. He had a short red beard and was wearing a black hoodie.

Police say they have not received any other similar calls.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Steinbach RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
