The Escondido Union School District warned parents of one middle school about the report of a flasher near the campus.
Superintendent of Schools Luis A. Ibarra, Ed.D., informed parents about the incident just before school on Monday, March 9.
Five girls said a Spanish-speaking man approached them from a vehicle stopped on Mission Avenue between Juniper and Fig asking them several times for directions and other information.
Once the girls were close enough to the vehicle, the man exposed himself, Ibarra’s letter stated.
The girls were not touched or harmed in the incident.
Escondido Police will be in place Tuesday morning as students arrive and leave school, Ibarra told parents.
He also wanted parents to remind their children not to talk with strangers.
Local
A search for the flasher and the black, four-door sedan with a roof rank and license plate beginning with the number “4” turned up no arrest.
The district’s letter to parents advised them that the man was described as Hispanic, 30 to 40 years old, thin, with short black hair and a goatee.
Escondido Police has an anonymous tip line for information on this incident or others. Call (760) 743-TIPS (8477) or via our Web site at police.escondido.org.
