Deer Park Student Reports Being Followed by Car Near Bus Stop

For the second day in a row, a Deer Park middle school student has reported being approached by a suspicious vehicle.

The incident Friday took place at the Sunburst Drive and Headline Road bus stop, according to a message on the school district's website.

Police said a 911 call came in around 3 p.m. and a woman said her daughter was followed by two people in a dark vehicle as she walked from the bus stop on Headline Road.

"Until we find the individuals who were in the car, it’s unknown if the people were actually following the girl or if they were just driving slowly and the child perceived she was being followed," a police spokesperson wrote in an email to Patch. 

On Thursday, a Robert Frost Middle School student reported being approached by a small maroon/red car on Washington Avenue near Hickory Street.

Here's the full community safety alert put out Friday by the school district:

We have been notified that this afternoon, a female student from Robert Frost was approached by two Caucasian men driving a black 4-door sedan at the Sunburst Drive and Headline Road bus stop.

It was reported that the driver was riding on the opposite side of the road. When the student realized the car was following her, she ran towards the other children from her bus stop and the car sped away running a stop sign.  Police have been notified of the incident.
