This ALERT was sent to the Prairie Ridge (NW) part of Ankeny on 5.24.13. PLEASE READ>
"My co-worker has alerted me that a older grandpa looking man had been driving/walking around their neighborhood asking children to pet his dog. He was picked out in a line-up by her neighbors kids, but since he has no prior record there isn't enough evidence to do anything. So just be aware. He was seen driving a red Chevy pick-up, but police told them to watch for any unusual vehicles that you normally don't see in the area. Remind your kids about stranger danger please. Stay safe!"
