Hellertown Police issued a news alert Tuesday afternoon warning residents to keep an eye on their children, after an older white man with a white beard reportedly followed a girl earlier in the day as she walked along the sidewalk in the 700 block of Easton Road.
In their news release, police said the man asked the girl where she was going, but the girl didn’t answer him and walked away.
The man was driving an older green Jeep Cherokee with body rust and followed the girl to Fehr Street–the alley directly to the south of Depot Street–before leaving the area, police said.
The incident occurred between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m., they added.
Anyone with information about the man or the incident is asked to call Hellertown Police at 610-759-2200.
Police also asked residents to notify them of any other suspicious activity.
