Resident Warns of Suspicious Activity in Hartland, Fenton

Woman says men approaching women in store parking lots.

A woman is warning residents about two men approaching people in Fenton and Hartland and telling them their vehicle has overheated.

Adrienne Conner posted on the Hartland Patch Facebook Page, "FYI! There are two men driving around in a green pickup truck approaching women with children in the parking lots of Meijer, Walmart and Target stores at US 23/M 59 as well as the Fenton stores and asking for coolant. No one seems to know the motivation, but I would think that they're trying to get money and/or more while Mama's are distracted...."

Chief Rick Aro said police did receive complaints of a similar situation last month, but officers were unable to locate the suspects. He said no criminal activity had been reported.
