Urgent Alert: Suspicious Activity Targeting Young Girls in Vista's Somerset Neighborhood

Residents of Vista's Somerset neighborhood are on high alert following a series of unsettling incidents involving a suspicious individual targeting young girls.

 

One concerned parent reports that her daughter has been followed by an older man in a silver car with tinted windows over the past two to three weeks.

 

The man, described as white, approximately in his 50s, with light dark brown hair, has been observed slowing down, turning around, and approaching the girl multiple times, even when she is accompanied by friends.

 

In a particularly alarming event, the man aggressively pulled up behind the girl near her bus stop, demanding she get into his vehicle.

 

Terrified, she sought refuge in another parent's car, prompting the suspect to flee the scene.

 

Later that day, the family discovered their car had been tampered with, finding it torn apart and a man's necklace hanging from the steering wheel.

 

These incidents have left the family feeling vulnerable and deeply concerned for their daughter's safety.

 

They have contacted the police, who advised them to call 311; authorities are expected to visit their home shortly.

 

Photographs of the suspect's vehicle have been taken, though the license plate remains indistinct.

 

In light of these events, all parents in the Vista area, especially those in the Somerset neighborhood, are urged to remain vigilant and keep a close watch on their children.

 

Any suspicious activity should be reported immediately to local law enforcement.

 

Community safety is paramount, and collective awareness can play a crucial role in preventing potential threats.

 

Stay safe.
