WHITE OAK, Pa. — A report of an attempted child luring in White Oak has been deemed a misunderstanding, police say.
In a social media post, the White Oak Police Department said it took a report on Friday of a possible attempted child luring incident in the borough.
The incident reportedly happened the day before, sometime between 2:40 p.m. and 3:10 p.m., at the bus stop at Vermont Avenue and California Avenue.
Police say they made contact with the complainant and started to investigate
The incident was deemed a “misunderstanding,” police say, as an elderly woman asked two children for help cleaning snow from her vehicle.
In a letter on Friday, the McKeesport Area School District said it was increasing police presence at the bus stop during dismissal, as a result of the report. It’s unclear whether this will still occur.
