BURLINGTON, ON March 2, 2012 On February 29th around 8:30 p.m., a fifteen-year-old female walking west along Plains Road East from Maple Avenue to Spring Gardens Road noticed a vehicle that seemed to be following her. The vehicle, a van, was spotted several times travelling back and forth along Plains Road, as well as being seen parked at various commercial properties along the route. The female believed she was being followed.
As the female approached Spring Gardens Road the same van pulled into a driveway, turned around and blocked the sidewalk directly in front of the female.
The van’s tinted passenger window was lowered just a few inches and the male passenger told her to get into the vehicle.
The female replied that she was calling the police on her cell phone and the van sped away.
The passenger in the van has been described as white, with brown hair. No other descriptors are available. The vehicle is described as a white van with tinted windows. A sticker was seen on the left side of the rear window.
