Hamilton PD, Schools Warn Of Stranger Who Approached Teen

HAMILTON, MA — Hamilton police and school officials are urging parents to talk to their children about stranger danger following a suspicious incident on Tuesday.

Officials said a 15-year-old girl was walking her dog on Union Street when a stranger got out of his car and approached her. The girl described the stranger to police as a white man, possibly in his 60s driving a red pickup truck.

The man asked the teen her name, where she lived and if she went to church before he went back to his car and drove off. Police said there was no physical contact between the man and the teen but that the incident was "still of concern."

School and police officials issued a letter to parents asking them to have a conversation with children about strangers and to call the police if anything suspicious happens.

The incident is under investigation by the Hamilton-Weham School Resource officer and anyone with more information is urged to call police.
