Police say a 17-year old girl reported that she was walking along Quander Road last Thursday around 12:15 p.m. when a man drove up in the van and told her to get in and she complied, according to police.

The suspect made verbal advances toward the victim, according to police, and allegedly touched her inappropriately.
