Columbia County kids report suspicious man

PHILMONT - Police in Columbia County are warning parents and children as they investigate two possible attempted abductions.

The first happened around 7 a.m. Wednesday on Eagle Street in Philmont. An 11-year-old girl says a man in a white pickup truck followed her slowly and then asked if she needed a ride to school. She ran home and told her father who called police.

The driver is described as a tanned, thin, white man with short brown hair and a full brownish beard trimmed short. He's about 30 years old.

Investigators say a similar incident also happened Wednesday morning in Philmont involving another young girl on a different street.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's department.
