The Redwood City Police Department has requested the community's support in locating and identifying two adults suspected of child bullying near Sequoia High School and #1 James Study Centers.
Last week, authorities learned of two separate cases of young women being harassed by unidentified men.
On August 18, they said, at around 3:40 p.m. at the bus stop located at #1 James, a 13-year-old girl was approached by a white adult of approximately 50 years old and with only one eye. The subject offered her candy and marijuana cigarettes. The minor got on the bus without further incident.
The other case occurred on August 23 at around 3:50 p.m. A 16-year-old female student at Sequoia High School was walking on the sidewalk in the 100 block of Arch Street when she was approached by a Hispanic adult in his late 20s or early 30s with a mid-length beard and paint-spattered clothing.
The suspect was driving an older white minivan. The unidentified suspect asked the student for a massage in exchange for $150, then left the area and immediately went to Sequoia High School.
The Redwood City Police Department said in a statement that there does not appear to be any connection between the two cases at this time.
Therefore, if you have information about any of the suspects, please contact the Redwood City Police Department at 650-780-7100.
If you are a student and you are being harassed by a stranger, or if you are the parent of a child in such circumstances, authorities have requested that you notify law enforcement as soon as possible, as the sooner the information is received, the quicker investigators can be assigned to work on it.
