Teenagers Admit to Offering Kids Candy in ‘Suspicious Vehicle’

Two 17-year-old males admitted to offering candy to children from a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) on March 28 after following the incident in the area of Cabot Lane, in Fayson Lakes.

“The boys stated it was a joke that they now realize was not considered funny,” police said in a press release Tuesday.

On March 28, a report was filed that a male in a light-colored SUV had offered the children candy and when the children had walked away, had offered the candy a second time. Police asked the community to report any information regarding the incident to Det. Sgt. David Crouthamel who was handling the investigation.

Police said the teenagers came forward on March 30.

No charges were filed against the teenagers but police said that their parents were notified, as well as the parents of the children who were offered the candy.
