Public Alert

On May 15th, shortly before 5:10 p.m., a gray colored minivan approached an 11-year-old male at 14th and Grove Street in Adel.  The 11 year old was asked if he wanted a ride and if he would like some candy.  The 11 year old told the subjects in the van that he did not want a ride and did not want candy.  The van left and the boy then reported the situation to his mother. The female passenger in the van appeared to be in her late teens.  The other occupant in the vehicle was an older male. Similar incidents have occurred in both Perry and Waukee within days of this initial incident in Adel. The Adel-Desoto-Minburn Schools and the Adel Police Department want to make all parents aware of this incident.  Please take some time to review safety precautions with your children, regardless of age.

 

If you have any information relating to these incidents, please contact the Adel Police Department during normal hours at 993-6723 (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday) or contact an Adel Officer by calling 993-4567 (Sheriff's Office) or 911. You may contact the Perry Police Department by calling 465-4636. Please keep an eye out for strange vehicles or persons in your neighborhood and if you have any questions, contact your local authorities.
