The Chilliocthe Police Department is investigating after a report of a man attempting to talk to a juvenile waiting on school bus.

The Department said Wednesday around 7 a.m. officers responded to the area of the 500 block of Third Street in Chillicothe in reference to a man attempting to make contact with a juvenile who was waiting at a bus stop.

Police said the juvenile reported that a white male driving a dark blue or black smaller pickup truck pulled up to the juvenile and spoke to him. This scared the juvenile so the he ran home.

Officers searched the area, but could not locate the vehicle. Officers are stepping up patrol enforcement within the school areas before and after school.

The Chillicothe Police Department and Chillicothe Schools said they will work together to try and make this time frame a safer time for children making their way to school.

The investigation continues.
