(Rochester, Beaver County, Pa.)  A Beaver County Radio listener made Beaver County Radio News aware of a letter that was sent to parents in the Rochester Area School District about a reported attempted child luring as an elementary school student was on their way home from school on Tuesday Afternoon.
The letter said the incident occurred along Heller Street and a man in late 40’s or early 50’s approached the student and attempted to grab them.
The district said in the letter that the incident was reported to Rochester Borough police and school officials and that police will continue to patrol neighborhoods and that school staff and security will be patrolling the school campus.
Dr. Jane Bovalino, School Superintendent, said in the letter that ” As a school community, the safety of our children is of utmost importance. Please remind your children to always be alert of their surroundings. Children should also practice the buddy system and always walk with a friend. Please remind your children to never approach strangers.”
No arrests have been announced as officials are continuing to investigate.
