Don't take a ride with a stranger, say UConn police
The University
Police Department has issued a safety alert about three incidents
since late November in which a man in a pickup truck has approached
a woman on the Storrs campus and offered a ride. He is described
as white, approximately 30 years old, with dark hair and a moustache,
of medium height and medium build, operating a light-colored,
full-size pickup truck. When the ride was declined, the man drove
away without incident. The man remains unidentified and his intentions
are unknown, but he is considered suspect.
Police officials
encourage women to be watchful, walk in groups, and not to accept
a ride from someone they don't know. If you have information
about these incidents, call police headquarters at (860) 486-4800.
To use the Husky Watch Escort Service, call (860) 486-4809.
