“Chilliwack RCMP commend the young girl who did the right thing by seeking help from a responsible adult,” said Sergeant Krista Vrolyk, media spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP. “We are now trying to identify and speak with the two young boys who were approached in Portage Park last Friday evening as well as the young girl who ran for help. Speaking with these children is key to our investigation and will assist in our pursuit of criminal charges.”

The boys are described as approximately eight to ten years old. Police believe is possible that they had a skateboard and a scooter and departed toward Menzies Street. The girl is approximately eight years old.

“This incident is disturbing and it serves as an opportunity for all parents to review safety tips with their children,” Sgt. Vrolyk said. “These kids did the right thing by having safety in numbers and seeking assistance from a responsible adult who could call for help.”

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604- 792-4611.
