On August 2, 2013 at 12:40 PM the Wright County Sheriff's Office received information from two juvenile females who reported a man in a black 4 door car with partial license of "404" was taking pictures of them near 75th St NE and Large Ave NE in the City of Albertville.
The vehicle was last seen leaving eastbound from the area on 75th St NE. The man was described as a white male, 50-60 years old, wearing a black or brown cap. The man did not make any attempt to lure the juveniles into his vehicle.
After a citizen posted a flyer describing the incident, the Sheriff's Office received a call on August 5th reporting a white male, 50-60 years old standing near the corner of Jason Av NE and Kassel Av NE with a camera hanging around his neck. This incident occurred on August 4th at 6:30 PM.
These incidents remain under investigation by the Wright County Sheriff's Office.
