NEW YORK — Long Island police are investigating after two pre-teen girls said they were approached by a woman who called them from her vehicle.
The incident took place around 3:15 pm on Saturday in Wantagh, according to Nassau County police. Two 12-year-old girls were walking on Beltagh Avenue near Holiday Park Drive when they were allegedly approached by a woman driving an older model gray SUV.
The woman in the vehicle honked the horn and rolled down the window before yelling at the girls, police said. The two girls became scared, so they hid and ran away before contacting their parents, according to police.
Initially, there was another report of an attempt to lure a 7-year-old boy by a woman also in Wantagh in early October, but police later said that claim was unfounded.
Police are still investigating the Oct. 28 incident and say they want to contact the woman who was behind the wheel to get a better idea of what happened and if any foul play was involved.
