A disturbing incident in Chatham’s north end.
Around 2:15 Thursday afternoon, Chatham-Kent Police say a white van bearing Ontario license plates BD 69460 pulled up to a home in Chatham, two men got out, walked into the backyard, and started talking to a young girl who was outside doing homework.
Police say the two men asked the girl about her family’s internet and fibre optics, then left when the girl called a family member and took a picture of their van.
Authorities say that while the men made no attempt to lure the girl away from her home or make physical contact, the matter remains under investigation.
Police also say it serves as a reminder to parents to talk to their kids about personal safety and stranger danger.
