Fall River mother April Noiseux posted on Facebook about an incident involving her daughter where an older man approached her.

When Fall River Reporter contacted FRPD about the incident, Sergeant J.T. Hoar stated that a 12 year old female reported to police that while walking in the 800 Block of Rock Street, a late model, possibly 2001-2009, green Toyota Corolla pulled along side of her and asked her if she wanted a ride. He was described as an “older male with black hair, grey side burns and a white stubble beard”. The juvenile was unable to recall the license plate.
