On Sunday, Nov. 3 at approximately 10 a.m., an adult female jogger was approached by a vehicle on Douglass Street, which is near East Prospect Street and West Saddle River Road. Two male occupants told the woman to get into the vehicle. The woman refused and the vehicle left the area. The vehicle was described as a black Nissan sedan and the occupants were described as two white males in their mid to late twenties. The driver had long dark hair. A search of the area and surrounding towns was unsuccessful. In addition, the Ridgewood Police Department is inves- tigating two separate luring incidents over the past week. The most recent involved a female Ridgewood student being grabbed by an adult male as she walked home from school on Monroe Street, near the Waldwick border. The student was able to break free and run for help. The male left the area. He was described as a heavy-set while male in his fifties or sixties, approximately 6’2” with gray or light colored, wavy hair. He was wearing jeans and a gray or green T-shirt and dark sunglasses. Residents are asked to contact the Waldwick Police Department immediately if they observe any suspicious persons or vehicles. Anyone with additional information on the above incidents should contact Detective Sergeant Doug Moore at (201) 652-5700. Another luring incident was also reported in Ramsey. Ramsey police report a suspicious incident that took place at the Spring Street New Jersey Transit Train Station on Saturday Nov. 2. At 6:15 p.m., a Ramapo College student was asked if she wanted a ride back to Ramapo College by a party not known to her. The student stated to the actor that she was waiting for the shuttle back to school. The actor stated he was the shuttle. The vehicle is described as a dark colored four-door Chrysler or Pontiac product with a rounded roof. After conferring with the shuttle service, it was determined that they do not have a vehicle meeting that description in their fleet. The driver was described as an Asian male in his mid-thirties. No further details were available. The Ramsey Police Department is working with the New Jersey Transit Police to determine if there was any criminal intent. Ramsey police ask anyone with informa- tion regarding this incident to call (201) 327-2400. Police seek tips in luring cases
