Schaumburg police search for suspicious driver

Schaumburg police are investigating a report of a suspicious man who they say approached a 10-year-old girl Wednesday.

The incident occurred at 4:15 p.m. near Knollwood Drive and Holmes Way.

A woman in the area told police she observed a man driving a maroon four-door car approach the girl as she was walking on the sidewalk.

The man reportedly asked the girl where a school was located as well as where she lived.

The woman approached to ask the girl if everything was all right, at which time the man drove off.

The man is described as Hispanic, 20 to 30 years old with short or thinning dark hair, brown eyes and stubble on his face. He had a medium complexion and an average build and was wearing a blue or black and white striped shirt.

No description of the make or license plate number of the man's car was obtained.

Though the man never exited his car or touched the girl, police are asking parents to remind their children to avoid speaking with strangers as well as any unknown vehicles that may approach them.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen the man or his car to call the criminal investigations bureau at (847) 882-3534.
