Prince Albert Police are preaching vigilance after receiving three separate reports of youths approached by suspicious people in vehicles during the month of March.

Police said the first incident, which occurred the evening of March 12 on Sixth Ave. E., saw a man in a grey Dodge truck ask two girls if they wanted to get into the vehicle. The youths refused, police said, and the man, described as a white male in his 40s, drove away.

During the second incident March 15, police said a dark-skinned male driving a two-door car approached a lone male youth on Bowerman Cres. The suspect opened the door and offered the youth candy, police said, but the boy ran away.

In the third incident, just a day later, police said two youths felt they were being followed by a black male driving a new, white car on 15th St. W. The driver of the car pointed at the youths, police said, then drove away without any further interaction.
