SURREY – A 22-year-old man is facing criminal charges after allegedly trying to abduct a child playing in a driveway in Metro Vancouver.
Police in Surrey say the alleged abduction attempt happened Saturday at about 6:40 p.m., when officers were called to the 8100 block of 136A Street.
Witnesses told police a stranger approached a child playing in the driveway, then picked them up before bystanders intervened.
The man allegedly dropped the child and left, and a suspect meeting his description was detained by bystanders nearby soon after.
The child was not injured.
Police say the man is now facing one count each of abduction of a person under 14 and possession of a prohibited weapon, and he remains in custody with his next court appearance set for Thursday.
