A caller reported that she was on a walk when she began to be followed and harassed by two parties in a UPS truck. She stated that the truck stopped and the two parties “looked at her funny.” They proceeded to beep and follow her back to her residence.

10:27 a.m. — A call was received by a party stating that her 12-year-old daughter was approached by a suspicious female while she was walking their dog. The youth stated that she was walking the dog when the woman began asking her questions about the school she attends and their plans for reopening. The suspicious woman told the youth that she was 64 years old and worked at Colonial Elementary School. She then proceeded to tell the youth that she was pretty and had a nice body. Now uncomfortable, the youth told the woman that she had to go home and began walking away. The woman said she would walk with her and continued to ask her personal questions like if she had any siblings. Since the youth did not want the woman to know where she lived, she ducked into a neighbor’s back yard to call her mother. As she entered the backyard, the woman asked if anyone was home to which the youth responded saying that her entire family home. The woman did not follow her and left in an unknown direction. Officers were unable to locate anyone matching the description. No further information has been reported.
