The woman told police that the car stopped along Main Street in Ashaway near Spicer Marketplace just before 10 p.m. Monday. She said two men in a white, older model four-door sedan "repeatedly offered to give her a ride" but she refused. The men were described as white with dark hair in their late 20s or early 30s. The driver had a thin mustache and goatee.

Police believe the two men later approached another woman and tried giving her a ride. She also declined.

Police warned residents not to approach the car if they see it. Instead, they should call the Hopkinton Police Department at 401-377-7750. Anyone in immediate danger should call 911.
