Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan says his agency has received reports of an individual attempting to pick up children in a vehicle. He was described as an older man in a white or black van, or SUV, who offered the child a ride. Palafox Street and the Pine Forest Road areas are being reported, but it is not restricted to just those areas. The Sheriff suggested that parents tell their children if they are approached by someone to: Run away – Tell a responsible adult – Dial 911 – Notify law enforcement. Any information including the make, model and color of their car and license plate as well as a description of the person would also be helpful.
