Dear Parents,
The Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department has made us aware of a suspicious incident involving a Lynch Elementary School student waiting for a bus this morning, Wednesday, December 16, 2009, on Vernor Road.
A man driving a green Chevrolet four-wheel drive pick up truck with running lights on the roof and a long bed parked in the middle of the road and began talking to the girl about being out of fuel. When the father of the girl yelled at her to come back to the house the man jumped back in the truck and drove off west on Vernor Road.
The only other description of the man was that he was wearing a black baseball cap. The police were notified immediately.
In addition to a warning to children about the incident, we are asking if you have any information regarding this man or the vehicle that you contact Lapeer County Dispatch at (810) 667-0292.
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
Sincerely,
Debbie Thompson
Superintendent
