He is described having tan skin with dark hair tucked back in a ponytail. He was wearing a black toque and a green long sleeve shirt at the time and was driving a dark coloured car with a dent in the back door and trunk area.
Anyone with information is being encouraged to reach out to Perth OPP or Crime Stoppers.

Officers are still encouraging parents to talk to their kids about stranger safety, explaining what they should do if they are ever approached by someone they don't know.
