March 18, 2026- Suspicious Incident
On March 18, 2026, at approximately 4:25 PM the Weston Communication Center received a call from a resident on Weston Woods Way reporting a suspicious incident. Officers from the Weston Police Department immediately responded to the scene and met with the complainant. The complainant reported that at approximately 3:45 PM, his daughter got off the school bus and stopped at their mailbox to check for deliveries. While at the mailbox, a black SUV stopped and an unknown male occupant of the vehicle attempted to engage his daughter in conversation. The unknown male asked his daughter if she wanted money and told her to get into the back seat of the vehicle. In response, his daughter ran toward their residence and the unknown male yelled for her to come back.
The vehicle was described as a black, older model Nissan Pathfinder, with out of state license plates, possibly New York or New Jersey. The vehicle also had an orange sticker near the right rear taillight. The unknown male was described as a tall, white or Hispanic male, with dirty blonde hair, wearing a black beanie, grey sweater with rips, black sunglasses and a silver watch on his right wrist.
Officers conducted a full canvass of the immediate and surrounding areas but were unable to locate the suspect. A potential match of the vehicle was captured by a security camera in the neighborhood. Our patrols are aware of this incident and will be focused on being alert and visible during school bus operations. This is an active police investigation.
We ask parents to speak with their students and remind them of basic safety precautions when getting off the school bus. As always, call 911 to report any suspicious incidents as soon as it is safe to do so. The Weston Police Department is fully committed to the safety of all members of the Weston community and will respond immediately.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Mogollon at 203-222-2639 or by email at jmogollon@westonpolice.com.
