PD Investigating 'Suspicious Incident' Involving Teen on Raritan Road
Police have not deemed the incident "child luring," but are investigating.
Clark Police sent out a Nixle alert around 9 a.m. on Thursday alerting residents to a suspicious incident where a female Clark district student was approached by a man while waiting for her bus on Wednesday morning.
The student was waiting for her bus near the Clark-Cranford border on Raritan Road around 7:40 a.m., said Clark Police Chief Alan Scherb, and was approached by a hispanic male in a white four-door vehicle. The students parents reported the incident to police Wednesday night.
"The vehicle pulled up, a comment was made to the juvenile, and then the juvenile backed away," Scherb told Patch. "We are investigating this as a suspicious incident."
