Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for a man who tailed a teenage girl Monday and tried to call her over to his car.The girl was walking near Edge Street in Maple Ridge at about 7 p.m. when she noticed she was being followed by a man in a black Honda.

The man called out to the girl twice, but she ignored him.

"At one point he got out of the car, but from what the girl could tell he didn't try to run after her," police spokesman Dan Herbranson said yesterday.

The girl eventually started to run and ducked between some buildings.

Police are looking for a Caucasian man in his 30s with a muscular build and short, dark hair. He's about six feet tall and wears glasses. He was driving a black, newer-model Honda, possibly a Civic.

"We'd love to identify this person," said Herbranson. "Sometimes in these cases, this isn't the only incident, and we want to get the word out there and see if this has happened before."

Herbranson said Monday's incident by itself would not warrant criminal charges.
