Police Search for Motorist Who Allegedly Approached Downers Grove Girl

The Downers Grove Police Department is searching for a man who allegedly approached a young girl while she was riding her bike Sunday.

Police were notified Tuesday that an 8-year-old girl was riding her bike in the 4600 block of Sherwood Avenue on Sunday when a gray truck pulled up near her. The male driver rolled down his window and motioned for her to come to the vehicle, prompting the girl to turn around and ride her bike home, police said.

A female with red or orange hair was also in the vehicle, along with a brown and white dog. The man never spoke to the young girl, and his intentions are unknown, according to police.

The department is attempting to locate the man, who was driving a newer model gray truck with Chicago Bears decals on his windows. The truck also had Chicago Bears license plate holders on both the front and back, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Downers Grove Police Department at 630-434-5600, or 911.
