*Suspicious bus stop activity in South Whitehall Township*

Today I was passed an email which is currently circulating throughout the Parkland School District regarding suspicious activity at a Parkland bus stop in neighboring South Whitehall Township. I did contact the author of the email, as well as the South Whitehall Township Police, who confirmed that the contents were accurate.

The email states that yesterday, around 3:50 pm, 2 males in a light blue pick-up truck followed a school bus for a short time and stopped behind the bus when it's red lights were activated. Once the bus pulled away, the truck pulled into the area now vacated by the bus and stopped. A large male, bald, with a brown beard, exited the vehicle and stood in front of her as she tried to walk home. The male asked "where do you think you're going?" The male may have had a tattoo on his left arm and looked like he was in his late 30's. Eventually, the other male in the vehicle, who was described as being younger, thinner, with black hair, yelled for the other male t come back so that they could leave. They eventually drove off, and laughing as they did so.

The vehicle description is as follows:
older, light blue pickup, maybe a Ford, black seats, black bed, maybe some white on the back.

This investigation is ongoing. If you have information regarding this incident, please contact Investigator Peter Nickischer at 610-683-8740.

One last note: We have received numerous Opertaion safe Stop requests already. Thank you to all that have contributed. Please keep the nominations coming!
