Another Luring Incident Reported by Girls Walking Home from Nyack Middle School

Two girls told police a strange man drove up to them and tried to engage them in conversation while they were walking home from Nyack Middle School yesterday.

Based on the description of the man, it does not appear to be related to the incident that occurred two days ago in Nyack, Clarkstown police said.

The girls told police they were at Birchwood Avenue and Route 9W in Upper Nyack just before 3:30 p.m. when a man in a red pick-up truck pulled up to them and said, “Hello ladies, isn’t it a beautiful day.”

The girls didn’t answer—they ran home without any further contact.

They described the man as a white male, approximately 50-60 years old, gray hair, facial stubble, wearing a plaid shirt and sunglasses.

Police conducted an extensive canvass of the area with no success.

This was the only incident that was reported to the department, police said. “We ask the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.”

The Clarkstown Police Department is asking for anyone who would have been in the area and has information to please contact the Clarkstown Detective Bureau at 845-639-5840.
