Cheltenham Township Police are investigating after they say someone robbed a girl while she waited for the school bus.
A girl called 911 after she said someone in a black sedan approached her while she waited for the school bus, called her over, threatened her and grabbed her cell phone, according to a Facebook post from the police department. The robbery happened Wednesday around 7:45 a.m. on the 400 block of Asbury Avenue in Melrose Park, police said.
The girl was not injured and the vehicle fled the scene, the post says.
An investigation found that the same suspects approached people at two other bus stops in the area and attempted similar robberies on Mountain Avenue and Valley Road, police said.
The suspect vehicle is a black four-door Kia sedan with a Delaware license plate, according to police, and there were two males and one female in the car.
