West Kelowna police investigating after teen chased by person wearing Cat in the Hat costume
The West Kelowna RCMP says it is investigating after a teenaged girl was reportedly chased by an unknown person dressed in a "Cat in the Hat" costume.
On the evening of August 24, West Kelowna police are investigating an incident where a teenage girl was chased by an individual wearing a "Cat in the Hat" costume. According to the West Kelowna RCMP, the girl was walking near Shamrock Drive and the Old Okanagan Highway when she was reportedly pursued by the mysterious costume wearer.
The young girl was not harmed and managed to reach her home safely, as stated by the police. While dressing in a costume is not against the law, following someone in a manner that causes them to feel threatened could be considered criminal harassment, according to Cpl. Devon Gerrits. The police emphasized that even if the individual's intention was a prank, the act of following and causing fear is a serious matter.
Anyone who has relevant footage from around 9 p.m. in the vicinity is urged to contact the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.
