Modesto Police looking for man who offered ride to girl at school bus stop near mall
Modesto Police want to talk to a middle aged man who offered a high school girl a ride as she waited for her school bus near the Vintage Faire Mall Monday morning.
The man, driving a tan SUV, approached the 15-year-old girl at her bus stop at Dale Road and Veneman Avenue at about 7 a.m., according to a Facebook post from Modesto Police.
When the girl declined the ride he asked again but drove away when she started using her phone. She took a photo of the vehicle as it drove away.
The driver was described as a middle aged Hispanic male with a dark beard and dark hair with some gray.
“MPD would like to remind parents and students that it’s best to stay in pairs or groups when out and about and do not accept rides from strangers,” the post reads.
The post says officers “would like to speak to the driver of this vehicle.”
If you recognize the vehicle or know anything about the man you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 209-521-4636.
