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.
