Provincial police in Norfolk are asking for the public's help identifying a man accused of pulling his vehicle alongside a 15-year-old boy and asking him "inappropriate" questions.
The teen was walking on the sidewalk on Sydenham Street in Simcoe around 8:46 p.m. on Sunday when a 2008 dark grey Hyundai Tucson slowed beside him and the male driver began questioning him. According to police, the shocked teen walked away from the vehicle, which was last seen turning north onto Norfolk Street South.

The vehicle is said to have had black plastic paint from the door handle down the vehicle.
In light of this incident, police are reminding the public to always be aware of their personal safety at all times and to be extremely vigilant and aware of their surroundings.
