Barrie police are hoping the public can help identify the driver of a white car after he attempted to engage a teenage girl in an awkward chat earlier this week.
"He was carrying on a conversation with her and she felt uncomfortable," said Barrie police communications co-ordinator Peter Leon.
The driver then turned around and came back toward the girl and tried to speak to her again.
"She did the right thing," Leon added. "She took a picture of the car and called home right away.
"In today's world, where everyone has a phone, she did everything great," Leon said.
Police say the incident happened Tuesday, Oct. 17 between 8:45 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. in the area of Little Avenue and Carol Road, in the city's south end.
Police have released a photo of the vehicle on social media. The vehicle is described as a white Honda Civic with a blue licence plate cover. There was also a green, black and gold flag sticker somewhere on the back of the car.
The male driver is described as having a dark complexion, facial hair and a large build. No possible age was available .
Anyone with information can call the investigating officer at 705-725-7025, ext. 2513.
