Lake Claire safety alert: Suspicious behavior
=================================

Please be advised that Lake Claire residents reported the following
three incidents in/around Lake Claire:

1.  6:15 AM, Sunday 9/10 at the corner of Ponce and Clifton. The
resident was in her car stopped at the light and a man was pacing at
the corner, talking on his cell phone, and waving to get her
attention. He asked the woman which direction Emory Village was and
said that his daughter had been air medevac'ed to Egleston and he
needed to get there asap. He started to approach the woman's car and
she took off because the encounter was strange -- no one else was
around at that hour of the morning and it wasn't clear where he had
come from, if he had a car, or why he would not have called for a taxi
or 911 himself.

SUSPECT IDENTIFICATION:  The man was very well dressed, wearing khaki
pants, a yellow polo shirt, about 6'2", trim, glasses, a mustache and
balding center with short hair along the sides, and was African
American with a light complexion.


2.  Approx. 8:00 PM, Monday, 9/18 on the Frazer Center driveway/road
between the extra parking area (and foot path into the woods) and
South Ponce.  Approximately midway on the road, out of nowhere, the
same man appeared, wearing white tennis-type shorts, a white shirt and
sneakers, asking the identical opening line, "Which direction to the
Emory Village?" This time the resident was with her husband and
leashed dog and they turned quickly away and exited to Ponce.

3.  LCN also learned that another woman started to give a ride to a
man fitting the same description and he accepted $20 and got out of
her car.

Please report any strange incidents involving the suspect in question
immediately to the police.
