Police are searching for two suspects who allegedly tried to strike conversations with two female youth while driving around Hamilton last week.

The first incident happened on the morning of June 18, at around 9:45 a.m., in the area of Spitfire Drive and Marion Street.

Hamilton Police said a black SUV, being driven by a woman, stopped a female youth. They add that a man was in the front passenger seat.

The driver spoke to the youth about dating the male passenger, police said, and the youth said she had a boyfriend and walked away.

The second reported incident happened the following morning, at around 9:10 a.m., in the area of Marion Street and Longview Court.

Police said a woman was seen driving a white SUV with a man seated in the front passenger seat.

In this incident, the driver tried to speak to a different female youth but the youth did not approach the vehicle and immediately left.
