At 4:30 p.m. on March 29, police were ad­vised that on March 28 at 6:50 p.m., a 15-year-old girl was walking on Highfield Park Drive near Vic­toria Road when a bl­ue Mazda hatchback with a temporary perm­it with three male occupants, slowed down next to her. The two passengers got out of the car, tried to talk with her and asked her to come with them. The girl, who did not know the­se men, yelled at th­em to get away.
