Girls report bus stop incident
Two teenagers waiting for the bus on Cudjoe Key reported a suspicious incident Friday morning.
The girls, aged 14 and 16, told deputies they were at their school bus stop at Cutthroat Drive and Lafitte Drive at 6 a.m. when a blue truck with two men inside pulled up in front of them. The two men, described as white, in their 30s or 40s and “scruffy looking”, asked the girls if they needed a ride. The girls said no; one of the men said “no, we can take you, just get in the truck.” At that point, the mother of one of the girls pulled up because her daughter had forgotten her water bottle in the car. The girls told her what was happening, the mother began to yell at the men in the truck and they drove away northbound.
The truck is described as a blue two door with an extended cab and with New York license plates.
If anyone spots a truck with that description, call the Sheriff’s Office. We would like to speak to the two men in an effort to determine what their motives were in speaking to the two girls.
Parents should be aware and should remind their kids of the importance of not talking to strangers and under no circumstances should children ever get into a vehicle with a stranger, no matter what that person says.
