BRUNSWICK
Brunswick police warned parents Wednesday afternoon about a blond man in a silver or white car who reportedly exposed his genitals to two girls playing in a park and attempted to lure another young girl into his car.
At about 1: 30 p. m., an officer responded to the area of Spring Street and Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School after an 11-year-old girl reported that, while walking her dog, a man drove slowly behind her, then next to her and attempted to start a conversation with her before asking her to come closer to his car, Cmdr. Marc Hagan said in a news release.
Hagan said the two “had a conversation,” but he would not disclose what was said. He said the girl declined to approach the car and instead returned home without incident.
Brunswick public school students had a half-day of school Wednesday, Hagan said.
The girl described the man as having curly, blond hair and a beard and is possibly between the age of 20 and 40 years old.
Two hours later, a man matching that description but reportedly in a silver car encouraged two other preteens to come to his car, where he allegedly exposed his genitals, Cmdr. Mark Waltz said later Wednesday.
The 10- and 11-year-old girls were playing in a park on Hambleton Avenue off Route 123 when they noticed a silver car driving back and forth past the park, Waltz said.
“He got them to come to the car and then exposed his genitals,” Waltz said.
These girls also described a blond man, with a blond goatee, between the age of 20 and 40 years old.
“We’re encouraging parents to have the stranger-danger refresher with their kids, and we’re asking for help identifying the man,” Waltz said. “If it’s happened twice in the afternoon, perhaps it will happen in the future or happened yesterday afternoon.”
Police have no suspects and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the interaction or has any other information to call them at 725- 5521.
