NAUGATUCK — Police are investigating a report of a suspicious person who tried to pick up a teen girl.
Police were called around 2:30 pm to a report of a suspicious vehicle / suspicious person around the 500 block of North Church Street near Bradbury St.
Police said they talked to a 15-year-old girl who said moments earlier, she was in the driveway of her home to get something from a vehicle. While she was doing that, she said a car operated by someone she described as an Hispanic male pulled in front of the driveway and called to her. The teen said the man asked her to “come into the vehicle and go for a ride with him over the bridge”. The girl stated that she panicked and ran into her house and immediately alerted a family member who called police.
