Police have been told the male driver asked the girl to get in the car. She refused and rode away. The man got out of his car and followed her on foot for a short distance, before returning to his car and driving away.
The incident was reported to officers from Manning/Great Lakes Police District who commenced an investigation.
As inquiries continue, police would like to speak to a man who may be able to assist with their inquiries.
