Creeps in Montclair?

Is it more urban legend hype or something that actually happened? We're waiting to hear back from Deputy Police Chief Roger Terry, but meanwhile, here's what's got us wondering. From a tipster parent...

Have you heard about this? During the Renaissance Back to School night, Principal Cobb announced that he had just got a call from the principal from Mt Hebron who asked him to share with the parents the following: Several students who walk home had been followed and approached by an individual who tried to engage the students. I approached Cobb later and asked for additional info and he said he didn't have any, and in fact was reluctant to share the little info he had because it was so vague.

Bruce Dabney, Assistant to the Superintendent of Montclair Schools sent a letter home to parents today about this incident. Apparently it happened "uptown" when two female sixth grade students were followed into a pizza parlor by a white male 50-60ish, 5'7" , brown hair, gray shirt.He offered them money to take them home. They refused.

It's moments like this that I wish all kids had cell phones with cameras in them.
