Dear Parents,
This afternoon we were notified by the City of Lapeer Police Department of a suspicious man who followed a 13-year-old girl riding her bike home from school on Monday afternoon.
The incident took place near Charbridge Avenue and W. Genesee Street about 3:30 p.m. on Monday. A white man, driving a dirty white minivan, described as a possible Chevrolet Venture with a tinted back window, asked the girl to stop so he could give her a ride home. After the girl refused to stop, the man, who is further described as having a gray beard, wearing a black winter hat and a British accent, continued to follow the girl north on Lincoln Street to Liberty Street and then east to Jackson Street.
In addition to a warning to children about the incident, police are interested in any information about the man and ask that if you have information about this or other incidents to contact Lapeer officer Trevor Johnson or Detective Sgt. Craig Gormley at (810) 664-0833.
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 the lessons about interacting with strangers with your children 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
