And, according to a report just issued, a similar, more frightening incident occurred last night on Warren Road. It is unknown if they are thought to be related.
See the latest notice below:
On 10/13/16, at approximately 9:30 PM, officers responded to Warren Rd on a report of a female in distress.Upon their arrival, officers located and spoke with the female, who reported that she exited her home and entered her vehicle that was parked on the street. Before she was able to close the door, a white SUV pulled up next to her and a male exited the passenger side. The male grabbed her door to prevent her from closing it and began yelling “get out, get out, get out.” The female then began screaming, at which time, the male re-entered the white vehicle and fled the scene. The male was described as a black male in his early 20’s with a thin build, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt. The male never demanded her belongings or announced a robbery, but the female victim believes that the actor wanted her car. The female victim was uninjured.
