MALAKWA, B.C. — RCMP say a bizarre incident east of Sicamous this morning may have been an attempted child abduction.

The resident of a Malakwa home in the 4000-block of Malakwa Road says her three year old was playing in the front lawn at about 10:30 this morning.

The mother heard yelling, and when she looked outside, she saw a man and a small dog standing about 10 feet from her child.

When the mother called her child to her, the man got into a vehicle and left.
