Man Approaches Pre-Teens, Police Say No Threats Made

Anne Arundel County police are seeking information about a man who asked a pre-teen girl if he could give her a ride to school on Thursday morning in Glen Burnie. 

Police said "no physical contact was made at any point, no threats were made" and the man did not attempt to grab the girl.

Two 12-year-old girls, who are Marley Middle School students, told police the man approached them at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday in the area of Americana Circle. Police said one of the girls refused the ride offer and the girls walked to a bus stop by crossing a path that links to a nearby shopping center. 

The man—described as white, in his 30s and driving a white utility vehicle—reportedly asked the same girl again if she wanted a ride at the shopping center. She declined and he left the area, police said.

There will be an increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues.
