Boro Cops Search for Men in Attempted Luring Incidents

Chatham Borough police are asking the public's help in solving two recent incidents of attempted child luring.

Authorities responded to two incidents of men attempting to lure minor females around the same time Friday afternoon.

Two 13-year-old girls told police that they were approached by a man on foot after school Friday near Kings supermarket on Main Street. The man — described as Hispanic, in his late 20s, 6 feet tall, with a thin build, short brown hair and clad in tight blue jeans and a dark green sleeveless T-shirt — yelled at the girls and began making crude remarks, police said.

The girls ignored him and kept walking, but the man followed them, police said. He was spotted leaving the area soon after in a black, late model sedan. 

Police responded to a second incident about the same time in which a borough resident reported seeing a dark-colored SUV pulled over on Main Street, with the driver speaking to a group of minor females. The resident saw the SUV turn around on Garden Avenue, and he lost sight of the SUV. Police do not have a description of the SUV driver.

Anyone with information related to either incident is asked to call Chatham Borough police at 973-635-8000.
