Police Seek Man Accused Of Harassing A 16-Year-Old Girl

FULLERTON, CA — Fullerton police are asking for your help in tracking down a man who harassed a 16-year-old girl and tried to get her into his pickup truck. The teen was walking south on Richman Avenue, south of Valencia Drive, about 1 p.m. Monday when the suspect pulled up beside her and stopped the tan-colored truck facing oncoming traffic, according to Fullerton police Sgt. Jon Radus.

The driver hollered at the girl multiple times to "get in'' the truck and followed her briefly until she took out her cell phone, prompting the suspect to flee, Radus said. She described the suspect as a thin Latino man in his late 20s or early 30s, with a shaved head and a beard with no mustache, Radus said. He wore a long-sleeved gray shirt. The suspect was in a 2003 Ford F-150 with an extended cab, Radus said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Mike McCaskill at(714) 738-6762. Orange County Crime Stoppers accepts anonymous tips at (855)TIP-OCCS.
