Toronto police are searching for a man in connection with a suspicious incident at a North York school.
Investigators say around noon on Friday, May 12, a group of children were playing at Pleasant Public School near Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue West when a man approached four young boys and offered them candy if they went with him to his van.
Police say no van was seen and the children ran and reported the incident to their teacher.
The man is described as having dark skin, in his teens or early 20s with curly black hair.
He was last seen wearing a black shift, dark pants and running shoes. He was riding a black mountain bike and carrying a peach coloured backpack.
