2 girls offered candy by person in suspicious vehicle, police say

On Friday night, two young girls were in the area of 7500 Welton Drive on Madison’s west side when they saw a suspicious vehicle, according to a police report.

Madison police said the vehicle was described as a dark-colored SUV and was occupied by several people.

Lt. Kelly Donahue said one occupant, a white male in his teens with dark hair and a dark shirt, yelled to the girls at 5 p.m., asking if they wanted some candy.

“The male motioned as though throwing something,” Donahue said.

The girls immediately sought safety and the vehicle has not been located.
