Police are looking for a man who tried to lure two girls onto a school bus in Orleans yesterday morning.

The girls, ages 9 and 14, were waiting for their school bus at Charlemagne Blvd. and Martinoff Way at about 7:25 a.m. when an unfamiliar man driving an empty, older-model school bus stopped at their location.


DRIVER LEFT


The driver told the girls he was driving for three different schools that day and told them to get on the bus, police said. The girls refused and the driver left the area.


The driver is described as French-speaking, 60 years of age, grey hair, a thin build and with a possible deformity to one of his hands.


The school bus is described as yellow, with a possible cab-over style. The bus was very dirty with no name markings.


Anyone with information can contact police at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Thank goodness those girls knew not to get on that bus! Who knows if this tactic had worked for this guy in the past, and how many times. This is a good lesson for parents everywhere to let their kids know that they should be careful of such things. Schools will send out a notice if they change bus companies, and parents should make sure that their children know the markings that should be on the bus they ride. And parents of younger children should wait with them for the bus, especially those at the beginning of the bus rout.
