Pennsbury Student, 6, Approached By Man Near School: Police

MORRISVILLE, PA — The Lower Makefield Township Police Department is currently investigating an incident that took place near Edgewood Elementary School on Tuesday evening.

According to a letter written and signed by Thomas A. Smith, Pennsbury's Superintendent of Schools, and Stephanie Hultquist, the principal of Edgewood Elementary School, a young female student was approached by a man on Saxony Lane while she was being picked up by her sibling.

"A red pickup truck pulled over and asked the 6­ year ­old girl if she wanted a tennis ball (holding it close to the passenger side window) and then drove off," the letter stated.

The girl's sibling, who is also a student in the Pennsbury School District, reported the incident through the school's Safe2Say anonymous tip line.

The school district has no further details at this time.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Lower Makefield Police Department.

This is the second case of suspect child luring in the Pennsbury School District in the past month. In March, an incident occurred just outside of Pennsbury High School, where reports of a man becoming hostile toward a female student were reported; that incident was later determined to be a "misunderstanding", according to the Falls Township Police Department, who spoke to the man involved.
