High School Student Reports Suspicious Incident: Officials

ISLIP, NY - An Islip High School student reported a suspicious incident involving a group of four men in a truck on Thursday, according to a letter from Principal Michael Mosca.

The female student reported to officials that while waiting for her morning bus on Jordan Street, she noticed an older two-door black pickup truck parked nearby with four occupants in the vehicle.

The driver was described as a Hispanic man in his twenties having a hair bun and a little tattoo on his face.

The other three occupants were described as Hispanics men. There was no verbal encounter between the occupants and the student.

That same day after school, the student saw the same truck parked at her bus stop on Jordan Street with the same occupants.

The student remained on the bus and got off at the next stop, Denver Street.

The student started to walk home when the car drove by, did a turnaround and drove past her. The men made eye contact and sped away.

The student reported this incident to her parent and a report was filed with the Suffolk County Police Department.

"Please review this incident with your children and review stranger/safety issues with them in order to help ensure their safety at all times," Mosca wrote in the letter. "Encourage them not to walk alone on the streets and be watchful for strangers, especially those who match the above description."
