Police have launched an investigation at a Toronto elementary school after a man came onto school property Friday and offered students food, a letter sent out by the principal states.
The letter obtained by CTV News Toronto sent to Roselands Public School parents said that the incident occurred at approximately 1 p.m.
“An unknown male approached the school’s doors and knocked while students were in the hallway,” the letter reads.
“The students opened the door for the person, and he offered them peanuts,” it continues.
