Stranger Offers La Jolla Children Candy

Woman told children God was inside containers filled with candy

A woman approached students at La Jolla Elementary School Friday morning, prompting school officials to warn parents in an email.

While students were outside on the blacktop area of the school, a woman beckoned the children over to a nearby gate, according to the school warning. She handed them plastic cupcake and animal containers filled with sealed candy, and told them God was inside the containers.

A teacher called over the children and confiscated the items immediately. The woman then got into her car and yelled strange noises as she drove away in a deep red metallic Corvette.

An LJES site officer gathered the woman’s description, citing her as a thin woman in her late 40s/early 50s, with platinum blond hair, blue eyes and wearing β€œperfect” makeup.

The woman has not been seen since the incident.

LJES is a locked camped and no one is able to enter during the school day.

β€œWe never have students anywhere on campus without adult supervision,” wrote Principal Donna Tripi.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call school police at 619-291-7678.
