Carlisle Police Warn Of Suspicious Man Approaching Young Girls

CARLISLE, MA — Police are issuing an alert after receiving multiple reports from young girls saying they have been approached by a "suspicious man" who approached them in Carlisle recently.

On Thursday, officers responded to a report of a suspicious person in the area of Church Street just before 3 p.m. The Carlisle Police Department says officers spoke with the girl, who told them she was approached by an older man who asked her to enter the address of a coffee shop into his GPS. Once she said no to him, she says the man drove off.

Almost two hours later, police responded to a similar incident at Fern's Country Store on Lowell Street, where another young girl says she was approached by a man who needed help with something inside his car. Police say when she declined, he drove off again.

Both girls described the man as about 5'10" with gray and brown hair and a beard, driving a red car. Officers think the girls may be describing the same man.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the police at 978-369-1155.

No additional information was immediately available.
