Ottawa police are investigating after a 10-year-old girl reported being asked to get into a stranger's car while she walked to her school bus stop in the city's west end.
Police say the girl was walking towards the bus stop on Medford Street when she was allegedly stopped by a lone male on Rosenthal Avenue in the Carlington area at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The male driver of the vehicle allegedly asked the girl to get into his car.
