On June 4 police received two reports of suspicious circumstances that had occurred in two different neighborhoods involving a vehicle with a similar description.

On June 2 at approximately 1 p.m. a white Hyundai Elantra with tinted windows was seen on Barry Allen Drive. The driver appeared to be looking at children playing in the area. When a woman moved toward the vehicle, it quickly left the area.

On June 3 at approximately 8:30 p.m. a vehicle followed a 12-year-old child who was riding a bike in the area of Everette and Franklyn streets. The vehicle was seen turning onto Pleasant Street and left the area in an unknown direction of travel. The vehicle was described as a newer model white four-door car, possibly a Hyundai Elantra, with tinted windows. The vehicle was being driven by a man described as being white and heavyset.
