Adult visitors spook Fargo students

Talk about it

Fargo police are investigating three incidents in recent weeks in which someone approached children near two schools and spoke to them in a suspicious or inappropriate manner.

- The first incident occurred Dec. 11 near Lewis and Clark Elementary. A white male driving a green car approached an 8-year-old girl and made lewd comments to the girl as well as a lewd gesture.

- On Monday, two 7-year-old boys were approached by a male driving a newer dark blue truck in the area of Lewis and Clark. The driver, described as a white male with brown hair, asked the boys to hop in.

- On Thursday, two juvenile males were approached near Carl Ben Eielson by a white male thought to be in his 20s with short brown or black hair and driving a red vehicle.

The man asked the juveniles if they wanted to receive money for helping him with snow removal.

Fargo police said the incidents should serve as a reminder to parents to talk to their children about reporting any suspicious activity to their parents or teachers.
