Rash Of Luring Attempts Puts Band Leaders On Alert

Officials in two Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities are warning residents to keep an eye out for possible predators.

The local administration in Grandmother’s Bay has circulated a bulletin saying that a white car was spotted in the community last night, and two teens were offered money to get into the vehicle.

A similar incident reportedly happened in Stanley Mission on Saturday.

In a release, the band office in Stanley Mission says a white car with four men inside tried to lure a girl into the vehicle by offering her candy.

Two luring incidents involving a light blue truck were reported in La Ronge on August 18th, and community leaders in Stanley Mission are worried the men involved in Saturday’s episode might return in a different vehicle.

Parents are being asked to warn their children about how to deal with strangers.

Anyone with information on this matter is asked to contact the RCMP.
