The Sacramento Police Department wants to make the community aware of a suspicious man contacting juveniles.

On Friday, January 27, 2012, at 10:51 a.m., two juveniles were walking in the 3200 block of North Park Drive. They were approached by a white cargo van. The driver asked if they wanted a ride and they answered "no". The driver repeated his question in a more demanding fashion and the two juveniles ran away.

On Saturday, January 28, 2012, at 11:25 a.m., a juvenile was walking in the 2800 block of Stone Creek Drive. She was approached by a white cargo van. When the driver honked at her, she became alarmed and ran away.

The driver was described as a male unknown race 30's, with short black hair, no facial hair, wearing glasses and a black pullover shirt. In both incidents, the juveniles noticed that the van did not have windows in the back of the vehicle.
