Grand Forks Police say they are aware of a social media post that says a man approached and tried to pick up children in a south Grand Forks neighborhood.

They say some info is accurate; some not.

The P-D has one report involving a suspicious vehicle and person near the 5300 block of Belmont Road. On Tuesday, it was reported that a man in a vehicle approached a juvenile male, and asked if his parents were home. When the juvenile asked the man for his name, the man drove off.

Police say the man did not try to pick up the juvenile, and did not leave his vehicle.

The man is described as a middle-aged chubby Caucasian with black and gray facial hair. He reportedly drove a small, silver SUV or crossover type vehicle.

A social media post also references a similar incident in the Mighty Acres Drive area… but police have no reports of any suspicious activity in that area.

Anyone who may have witnessed any related activity is urged to contact Grand Forks Police.
