Guelph police are investigating after a group of children were approached by a couple in a motor vehicle Sunday and given a bag of candy.
A male called police Sunday to report his nine-year-old son was riding his bike with two friends about 3:30 p.m. Sunday when they were approached by a car at the intersection of Forest Hill Drive and Water Street.
A female passenger asked the children if they would like to play a game which involved guessing numbers and the winner would receive a bag of candy. The children accepted the bag of candy and ate some.
There are no reports of any of the children becoming ill.
