Police search for witnesses in encounter between boy, stranger in Plymouth Township

An elementary school-aged boy said he was approached by a man in Plymouth Township.

The alarming “stranger danger” incident occurred on Friday (May 3) in the Trailwood Road subdivision when a man approached the boy, asking if he “wanted to go for a ride,” officials said.
