Peel police have determined there was no criminality involved in a reported attempted child abduction on Friday, May 10, in Brampton.

That morning, police received a call about two 10-year-old girls who were approached by a man in an SUV while they were walking to school in the area of Chipwood Crescent and Archdekin Drive.

The man asked if they wanted some candy, at which point the girls ran away and reported the incident. Police also said the girls noticed a young girl in the vehicle with the man.

Const. Heather Cannon said an investigation was conducted, which included interviewing everyone in the vehicle, and determined no attempted abduction occurred.
