Police Announcement: Suspicious Subject

May 10, 2012  The Vernon Hills Police provide the following alert:  The Lincolnshire Police Department is currently attempting to identify a suspicious subject that recently approached a 12 year old child near an area school.  The subject approached the child in a yellow Subaru with tinted windows and a rear spoiler.  The subject is described as a M/W or M/H, 30-40 years old, clean shaven with black or brown “spiked” hair.  The subject attempted to stop and speak with the child but the child fled into the school.  There have been no reported incidents of this nature in Vernon Hills to date, however, we are releasing this information so parents can speak with their children and pay extra special attention in the residential neighborhoods.  The Vernon Hills Police Department and District 73 are working together on this issue.
