CLINTONVILLE, WI (WTAQ) – Clintonville police say an investigation into suspicious activity near two schools this week has a new twist.
Authorities say they got a call from a Rothschild man Friday morning. The man says he and his wife were watching the news and saw reports of a suspicious vehicle approaching children in Clintonville, asking for directions.
The man told police he and his wife got lost in that area and stopped to ask children for directions to Highway N. The vehicle description matched the man’s vehicle and the children positively identified photos of the couple as the two who stopped and talked with them.
Police were also told by a Waupaca County Sheriff’s deputy that he was approached by the same man at a local gas station just before noon Wednesday, asking for the same directions.
According to authorities, the second report of a person taking photos on 6th Street near the Rexford-Longfellow Elementary School playground Monday doesn’t appear to be connected.
The investigation into that incident is ongoing.
