The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has released a sketch of a man who they say stopped a girl walking along a Lake Stevens road.
A 14-year-old girl told authorities she was near the 1700 block of 114th Ave SE around 6 p.m. last Wednesday when she noticed a white van with blue stripes following her.
The girl said the van stopped in front of her, blocking her path. The driver of the van then reportedly asked where she was going and if she needed a ride.
The girl tells authorities she became frightened and ran from the scene. But she said she thought the man snapped a picture of her with his cell phone.
The man is described as a heavy-set male in his late 40s, with brown hair, glasses and a mustache. He was reportedly wearing a blue baseball cap at the time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 425-388-3845.
