Suspicious Vehicle Followed School Bus Along Route: Police

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego police were called to Long Beach Elementary Wednesday for a report of a suspicious vehicle allegedly following a school bus throughout neighborhoods on its route to the school Wednesday.

Police say students awaiting a school bus at Farmington Lakes Drive and Springbrook Trail North noticed a vehicle in the area that seemed to be driving aimlessly around and thought it was suspicious.

“The vehicle is alleged to have followed the school bus throughout the neighborhoods on its route to the school,” Oswego Public Information Officer Cathy Nevara said in a press release. “The vehicle was described as an older model, rusty, white convertible with a black top. The driver and passenger were both described as tall, thin, black males in their mid-thirties, wearing black clothing.”

The children were not approached nor spoken to. At this time the occurrence is still being investigated, however no information has been substantiated.

Police would like to remind parents to encourage their children to report any behavior they find suspicious to a trusted adult immediately.
