Search On For Suspicious Vehicle Seen Near Ceres Schools
CERES (CBS13) — The Ceres Police Department is looking for information about a suspicious incident that happened near Magnolia Street and 10th Street Tuesday morning.
A student walking to school was reportedly approached by a male in a vehicle asking for directions to Ceres High School. After the student gave directions, police say the male asked the student to get in his vehicle and show him how to get to the school.
As the student grabbed their cell phone to call their parents, the male drove away.
Police said a second student reported a similar incident around the same time near Whitmore Avenue near Ninth Street. That vehicle reportedly drove off when another vehicle approached from behind.
