A chilling encounter unfolded in Weston this week, leaving authorities searching for a driver and a vehicle of interest. A young child, walking home from school near Church Street and Grattan Street, was approached by a man who offered a ride.
The child wisely refused the offer, and the man retreated to his car and drove away. Police are now seeking information about a blue, older model Volkswagen Passat – potentially from 2007 or 2008 – missing a front license plate.
The man is described as approximately 5’9” with a slim build, weighing around 150 pounds. He has short black hair and was clean-shaven. Investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward.
