Disturbing Comments About Niece, 4, Alarm Aunt at Stop & Shop

Police received a distressing complaint from a woman, whose name was not released, at the Wilton Stop and Shop on 6:22 p.m. last Tuesday, August 3.

According to the police report, the woman was shopping in the grocery store with her four-year-old niece when she suspected she was being followed by a particular individual male whom she “had observed several times” around the store.

When the woman was in the deli area, the report says, this same man approached her and the child. Allegedly, the man said to the woman that “the niece looked very pretty in her dress, and that she will ‘be hot when she’s 21.’ He also said that he ‘would take her now’ if the complainant would give her to him,’” the report reads.

The woman told the man that she was going to call the police, causing the suspect to leave the store, according to the report.

Reports describe the man as Caucasian, approximately 40-years-old and with “black, balding hair.” He was wearing a white shirt, plaid shorts and white suede shoes, the report states.

Police said that there was no video evidence of the suspect because Stop and Shop does not have security cameras—at least, not where this incident occurred. There were also no cameras in the parking lot, police said.

As of this Tuesday, Lieutenant Wakeman said there have been no similar incidents reported since last week.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Officer Rangel at the .
