A little after 9:00 pm, deputies from the Santee Sheriff's Station located the van and the person driving it. After an investigation, it was determined no crime had been committed and there was some misunderstanding involved. We thank the public for their help.
On Saturday, February 13th at about 4:27 p.m., an unknown male drove up to two juveniles while they were playing in front of a residence on Stoney Creek Court, in the city of Santee. The subject told the two juveniles that he was giving away free books and told them to go inside the back of the van and grab them.
The juveniles went into their residence and told their parents about their interaction with the subject.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the area and were unable to locate the subject.
The subject was described as an Asian male in this 50's, with a thin build, gray hair, wearing a blue hat and a yellow construction vest.
The subject was driving a gray, late 80's or early 90's model minivan that had a dark charcoal stripe around the van.
