Kent Elementary is warning parents to review safety procedures with their children, after a man was spotted taking photos of students Monday (April 1).
In a letter that went out to parents Tuesday (April 2), principal Stan Watchorn said that a couple students saw a man in a black Honda Civic taking photos and/or video of students walking down Vimy Road after school.
The letter describes the man as having black hair and wearing black sunglasses and a black jacket.
“Should your child witness this vehicle or experience any similar circumstances, you should not hesitate to contact our school administration and the Agassiz RCMP,” the letter reads.
The Agassiz RCMP were notified and the file is open, Staff-Sgt. Darren Rennie said.
“At this point, (the incident) is more something to be aware of,” Rennie said.
Parents “should speak to their children, reinforce the stranger danger” concept, he said, adding that anyone who feels uncomfortable in a situation like that should get to a safe location and call police immediately.
Rennie said police are canvassing the area for surveillance footage.
