At 11:31 a.m. Monday, police received a call from Glenwood Elementary School in Middletown Township about a 5th grade student encountering a man in a white work van.
Police say the 10-year-old boy was waiting for the bus near an apartment complex on the 1000 block of West Baltimore Pike when the man drove up to him and asked if he would like to drive the van.

Police say a similar incident occurred around 7:51 p.m. on May 4th on the 300 block of Willits Way in Chester Heights.
A 15-year-old girl told police a white work van pulled up in front of her home.
A male suspect displayed what appeared to be an Amazon package.
Police say she told the man that she didn't order anything, so she shouldn't take the package.

The girl's father confirmed to police that there was no delivery from Amazon expected.
The van was described as white, with no windows, a ladder rack and red lettering on the side. The van came from and left towards Mattson Road.
