Concord Police Seek Suspicious Person Who Approached Child on Thursday Afternoon

CONCORD – Chief Joseph O’Connor reports that the Concord Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a suspicious person who approached a child on Thursday.

At approximately 3:45 p.m. Thursday, an elementary school student was approached by man driving a newer model white four-door sedan. The man called out to the child and told the boy that he had candy. The child continued walking until he reached home.

This individual is wanted for questioning about the incident at this time.

The person of interest is described as a white male, approximately 35-40 years old with a stocky build and a slight beard on his chin. He stands at between 5’9″ and 6′ tall and was wearing jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt.

If anyone has any information on this incident or about the individual in question, they are urged to contact the Concord Police Department at 978-318-3400.
