Suspicious Driver Follows Females In Elgin: Police

ELGIN, IL — Authorities in Elgin have fielded complaints this past week of a male driver following females in a far west subdivision in town, according to a Thursday post on the Elgin Police Department's Facebook page. Three separate incidents occurred between Sept. 8 and Sept. 11 in the Providence subdivision and during one of the incidents, the suspicious man may have taken photos of children, police said.

The male driver is described as being white, between the age of 25 and 35 years old with brown hair, scruffy facial hair and who was wearing a baseball hat, according to authorities.

Two different vehicle descriptions have been provided to police. A vehicle used during at least one of the incidents has been described as a silver sedan and the other vehicle description was that of a black two-door vehicle, possibly a Honda or Scion, with tinted windows. A folding ladder was in the back seat of the black vehicle during one of the incidents.

Authorities say the man did not make physical contact with any of the people who reported they were followed by him.

Elgin police officers canvassed the area of the sightings Thursday evening and talked to residents in an effort to gather more information. The above photo of a vehicle, which is believed to be a black Honda or Scion, was captured by a Ring doorbell.

Anyone with information on the incidents that may help police locate the vehicle or person involved can call 847-289-2600 or send a text to 847411 and include ElginPD in the beginning of the narrative.
