Airdrie RCMP are searching for a man who tried to lure a teenager into his truck last week.
Police said on Oct. 18 at 8:15 p.m., a 14-year-old boy was walking home from football practice near George McDougall High School, at Allen Street and Alder Crescent, when a red pickup truck pulled up next to him.
The driver started talking to the teen, and told him to get into his vehicle, police said.
The 14-year-old refused, jumped a fence and ran home. He wasn't hurt in the incident.
Police said the driver of the truck is a white man between 40 and 60 years old, who was large with a deep voice. He was wearing blue clothing with a short-sleeved shirt and has a scar on his left forearm.
The truck was new but had a dent and scratch on the driver's side door. It also had a box cover.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Airdrie RCMP at 403-945-7267.
