Police: Man Approached Two Children In Highland Park
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police are warning residents after a man approached two children walking home from school Tuesday afternoon in north suburban Highland Park.
About 3:40 p.m., the children were walking home from Red Oak Elementary School near Old Briar and Ridge roads when a black BMW X3 pulled up next to them, according to the city of Highland Park.
The driver asked the children if they could help him find "Andrew," and showed them an ID card with a photo, according to the city. Neither of the children recognized the photo. The driver then asked the children to get into his car to help find Andrew, but they declined and kept walking home.
The BMW headed north on Ridge Road, according to the city. The driver never got out of his vehicle and did not make any threats.
The driver was described as a white man in his early 40s, with brown or blonde medium-length hair, wearing black sunglasses and a short-sleeved turquoise shirt, according to the city.
The BMW's license plate contained the numbers 3 and 6.
Anyone with information should call Highland Park police at (847) 432-7730.
