Editor's Note: This article was written by Danielle De Souza.
Two children were approached by a stranger in East Meadow on Tuesday, according to a letter to parents on the Merrick Union Free School District's website.
The children were not harmed.
The students, ages 11 and 12, were approached by a man on Bellmore Road and Granz Court after school.
The man was wearing a ski cap and drove a red four-door sedan with a black stripe.
This week, Nassau County Police released a sketch of a “suspicious person” that’s sought in connection to the string of stranger incidents throughout the Bellmore-Merrick area in April.
Overall, 10 incidents have been reported since April 3, according to police.
