Creepy Vans Rattle Families, School Offers Safety Tips

San Clemente, CA
Local elementary school officials are warning parents to reinforce their children's wariness of strangers after two suspicious incidents have rattled local families.

Both incidents involved white panel vans, but that appears to be the only similarity. Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino said the department is investigating both incidents, but they don't appear to be connected.

Tuesday afternoon, a white panel van parked near Camino Capistrano and Via Canon made a U-turn and crept along behind two elementary school students walking home, according to an email sent to parents by the Concordia and Palisades elementary school principals.
