On Nov 5^th at 10:00 am police received information from the parents of two juvenile males regarding a suspicious incident that occurred in the 600 block of Cathcart Rd.

The boys ran home and reported the incident to their parent.

In that incident a homeowner reported a gray or cream colored vehicle was driving slowly in the area of the 1500 block of Penllyn Pk. The driver of this vehicle was reported as a w/m approximately 40 yrs old and the resident stated that it appeared as if he was staring at her 10 year old son.
