Kauai police warn of suspicious male offering rides to girls

Kauai police are warning the public about a man offering rides to juvenile females in the Wailua and Hanamaulu areas.

The male driver is described as being tall, thin, Caucasian or fair-skinned, bald, and roughly 25 to 30 years old. He is reported to be wearing large glasses and speaks with an accent — possibly from the southern United States.

He was driving a black or dark-colored Ford Mustang, possibly a convertible.

“We want to alert the community so that they can be aware," stated Capt. Michael Contrades of the Patrol Services Bureau. "We ask parents to take the time to educate their children to ensure that they do not accept rides from strangers and that they immediately tell a trusted adult and notify the police if they are offered one.”

Anyone with information is encouraged to call police dispatch at 241-1711 or CrimeStoppers at 241-1887.
