Alert Resident Intervenes as Older-Model Sedan Approaches Scooter Rider
An alert resident in Delaware County disrupted a frightening encounter on October 29, stepping in to confront a driver who approached a 10-year-old boy.
Pennsylvania State Police report that the incident occurred at approximately 4:15 p.m. while the child rode his scooter through a neighborhood on Andrien Road in Concord Township.
Driver Description and Surveillance Timeline Focus Inquiry
The driver of an older-model tan sedan approached the boy, telling him to move closer to the vehicle before asking questions about the scooter. Police describe the suspect as a white male between 50 and 60 years of age with grey hair.
When the neighbor intervened and confronted the driver, the man fled the area. Shortly after the initial confrontation, a black sedan stopped briefly across the street from the same residence before driving away.
Initial surveillance footage reviewed by investigators indicates that both the tan sedan and the black sedan may have followed the child while he was riding his scooter through the neighborhood earlier that afternoon.
Investigators Weigh Possible Connection Between Two Vehicles
Authorities at the Pennsylvania State Police Media Station are leading the ongoing investigation. The incident occurred in the Glen Mills area of Concord Township.
Investigators are looking into the possibility that the child was followed by both the tan car and the black car.

Anyone with relevant information, home surveillance footage, or details regarding the tan or black sedans is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Media Station directly.
