The man rolled down his window and waved, the girls said. He then paced them at a slow speed in his truck for about a block, according to officials.

He drove away when one of the girls pulled out her cellphone, police said.

Officials describe the man as older and white with a thin gray beard. He was wearing a black hat.

Police said there was no criminal act, but called the behavior "suspicious and inappropriate."
