Oshkosh Police are investigating after a stranger walked up to a juvenile girl in the city Tuesday and offered to give her a ride home, according to a news release.

The girl reported that she was walking between West 17th Avenue and Delaware Street at about 4 p.m. when a man she does not know walked up to her, and tried to convince her that she was related to one of her friends, and that he would give her a ride home, police said.
