The Simi Valley Police Department is seeking assistance from the community regarding recent child annoyance activity. On October 28, 2015, the Simi Valley Police Department released information regarding two previous incidents. Over the past few weeks, there have been a number of additional incidents where a male in a white car has approached adolescent and teenaged girls as they were walking to and from school.

Anyone who has additional information is asked to come forward and report any suspicious behavior as soon as they become aware of the activity.
