Police looking for this man in suspected West Kelowna child luring case

West Kelowna police have released this composite photo of a man suspected of trying to get a child into his car on Nov. 27.

The male suspect is described as tanned, possibly bald, approximately mid-40s in age, heavier build, white bearded chin and was wearing small circular silver glasses. 

The suspect’s vehicle was a blue 4-door sedan with rusted rims and squeaky brakes. The make and model of the vehicle are not currently known and the vehicle was last seen at Cougar Road and Grizzly Road in West Kelowna, according to a release from RCMP.

Police actually reported three separate incidents. It's unclear if the man is being sought in all three or just the Nov. 27 incident. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.crimestoppers.net.
