The Hopkinton Police Department is actively investigating a suspicious incident involving two girls, age twelve and thirteen, who felt men may have been taking their picture as they walked home in the Pond Street and Jamie Lane area of town. The suspicious vehicle was described as a white commercial van with green lettering, and pictures of a baby's face on one side and a mother on the back. The plate was reported as a partial plate bearing SY1. The eyewitness did not see the driver of the van but felt confident that the driver was a man.
The Hopkinton Police have notified the Schools and appropriate warnings and reminders regarding stranger danger, as well as safety precautions about walking home have been reviewed with students. The Hopkinton Police will have additional patrols in the neighborhoods and will continue to try and identify the vehicle and occupant.
The Hopkinton Police Department asks that parents, neighbors, merchants and all members of the community be vigilant in keeping our children safe. If anything seems suspicious or out of the ordinary call 911 immediately. Our best chance at preventing and solving crime lies in our community partnerships.
