>Please read the below email from a parent regarding a potentially dangerous interaction at our park (Mt. Jefferson Park at Hume and Raymond):
>
>On Friday afternoon (her son) was on his skateboard and two girls were walking in the neighborhood together. A white male in his late 50s-60s approached the children and asked if they needed a ride. He was driving a white four-door VW. One of the girls told him no and the man continued to follow them. The children ran home. The dad immediately got in his car and attempted to follow the man but he got away.
>
>On Saturday afternoon a parent observed a man taking pictures of kids and walking up and down East Raymond Ave.
>
>The parent approached him; he was acting very odd so she left the park with her daughter and called the police. One of the children who was offered a ride observed that it was the same person who had approached him the day before.
>
>The children gave the following description to the police officer:
>
>•A white male 5'8 -5'9 in height wearing a black sweat suit with purple and green diamonds on the jacket;
>•Balding with dark, heavy-rimmed glasses;
>•Overweight with a large belly;
>•Observed in a white Volkswagen with four doors and carrying a large black camera.
>
>The parents of the children who were approached made police reports Saturday night. Officer Harrell has been assigned to the case. His direct number is 703-746-6770, and the number to the Alexandria police department is 703.746-4444 (emergencies dial 911).
>
>If you see anyone fitting this description or acting suspiciously please get in touch with Officer Harrell and the Alexandria Police Department immediately. If there are other neighbors or people who use our park who were not included on this email please forward this to them.
