The juvenile reported he was walking in the subdivision he lived in, when he was approached by a white male with long hair, driving a newer model, four door, black car with tinted windows.
The suspect told the juvenile his mother was sick at the hospital and she sent “them” to pick him up. The juvenile told the suspect, he had just got off the phone with his mom, and she was at home. The suspect then drove away. The juvenile arrived home and reported the incident to his mother. The juvenile was unable to determine if any passengers were in the vehicle, due to the tinted windows.
Security cameras located in the neighborhood are being reviewed in an attempt to identify the vehicle or incident.
The Canton Police Department have increased patrols in the area and will be patrolling bus stops in the community.
We are asking the community to continue to be observant and report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods. We are urging parents to teach their kids about stranger danger and it’s OK to say no to an adult they don’t know or feel comfortable with.
If you have any information relating to this case, please contact the Canton Police Department (770-720-4883) or call 911.
