Halifax Regional Police are investigating a suspicious circumstance call that occurred yesterday in Dartmouth.

 At approximately 12 p.m. a man in a vehicle followed two 13-year-old youths who were walking in the area of Swanton Drive, Garett Street and Dorothea Drive in Dartmouth. The vehicle drove past the youths multiple times and slowed down as it passed them. The man did not say anything to the youths and appeared to be hiding his face with the hood of his sweater.
