Two of the incidents happened around 15th avenue. People who live along 15th avenue said they’re stunned by the crimes.
Police say a man who looked to be 25-years-old, driving a dark colored car, approached a 10-year-old girl, told her he was a police officer and asked her to get in his car to show him how to get to his destination. The girl refused and ran away.
About 45 minutes later in the same area, a man fitting a similar description showed a 10-year-old girl a badge and said he was a Cleveland police officer. The man asked for directions and asked the girl to get in his car. She agreed. Police said that as the man was driving, he started touching the girl. She was able to escape the car and run away.
Police reported a third incident near 11th avenue two-and-a-half weeks ago. A man who appeared to be 30-years-old, driving a dark colored jeep, showed an 11-year-old girl police paraphernalia, exposed himself and asked the girl to get in his car. She refused.
