\nThree grade school children in Morton and Mossyrock have reported a man driving a white pickup truck offering them money over the past several days, according to police and school officials.<\/p>\n

It came to the attention of police on Friday afternoon when an 11-year-old boy said the man stopped near Morton Elementary School<\/a> and offered him $20 if he would get into the vehicle, according to Morton Police Department.<\/p>\n

The boy took off running into the school and reported it, according to police. While officers spoke to the boy, a 12-year-old boy told them the same man offered him $20 the day before for the same reason, police reported.<\/p>\n

Morton police describe the truck as a white Ford pickup with a wide black stripe running down its side. The boys said there were large “mud tires” in the bed of the truck.<\/p>\n

The male is described only as unshaven with dark hair.<\/p>\n

In Mossyrock, the elementary school principal was notified this morning by police of an incident early yesterday evening in which a fifth-grade girl\u00a0 said she was approached by a male while she was at Smith and Son Grocery.<\/p>\n

He initiated a conversation with her and gave her $3 and was driving a white truck with a thick black stripe as well, according to Principal Randy Torrey.<\/p>\n

Torrey is sending a letter with details home with students today.<\/p>\n

Teachers in both districts have been speaking to students about never getting into a vehicle with a stranger.<\/p>\n

“We’re reminding them if someone tries to lure you, or talk to you, run away, yell, maybe even ‘stranger danger’ and get to an adult,” Torrey said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
