Police searching for man who drove past boys, acted strangely
A man is acting strangely around young boys in West Manheim Township, and police are asking for the public's help in identifying him.
West Manheim Township Police are investigating what they call "suspicious circumstances" involving a man driving past boys in the township, including several incidents at a school-bus stop.
Police said that about 7:50 a.m. Monday, a man in a white or silver SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe, slowly drove by an 11-year-old boy waiting for his school bus. The same thing happened at the same time on Nov. 15 and 18, too, police said.
The bus stop is at the intersection Fuhrman Mill and Frogtown roads, police said.
Police said that during the first two incidents the man drove by the boy several times,
then parked and stared at him until he got on the bus.
During the third incident, the driver stopped on the road and got out of his vehicle, causing the boy to run to a nearby home, police said. When he returned with an adult, the SUV was gone.
Exaggerated smile: Then at about 6:15 p.m. Monday, a man in a similar SUV drove by a group of young boys at least 10 times in the 1300 block of Wanda Drive, staring at them with an exaggerated smile, police said. The vehicle took off when an adult started to approach it, police said.
The driver is described as a white man in his 50s, balding with some gray hair on the side, possibly with a mustache and glasses, police said.
In two of the four incidents, a second person -- of unknown
gender, but apparently in his or her 20s -- was in the front passenger seat of the SUV, police said.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call West Manheim Township Police at 632-7059. Police are asking people to call 911 immediately if they observe suspicious activity.
