Not far away in Levittown’s Pinewood neighborhood, a 15-year-old boy later reported to Falls Township police that a white man wearing a black hoodie and black sweatpants chased him as he was walking home from playing with friends at Walt Disney Elementary School around 9:30 p.m. Police said the suspect was near a white minivan but he did not see him get out of the vehicle.
Falls and Tullytown police are working together to investigate the incidents, Tullytown Chief Daniel Doyle said. The chief added that authorities are working to determine if the two incidents are related.
“We have no reason to believe anyone is targeting school children,” Falls Lt. Hank Ward said. “But in abundance of caution, we want everyone to be aware of this incident.”
