Police say a 14-year-old girl was waiting at a bus stop in the 700-block of Rutland Road North at around 1:30 p.m. on April 6.

“The yet-to-be-identified man attempted to sell the teen an item and when she had refused several times, he drove away,” Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy said.

“The individual was reportedly driving an older white van with a broken rear window. According to the teen, a woman was seated in the vehicle’s front passenger seat.”
