Oak Hollow Alert on Anna Crime Watch blog

Residents of Oak Hollow,

Please be advised the Police Department has received several calls over the past week regarding a suspicious person near the playground. Parents have advised a white male in his late-teens to early 20’s has been approaching young children, namely females, and asking if they want to go home with him. On two occasions, he has been seen in the wooded area near the playground.

He is described as a white male; approximately 5′02″ to 5′08″ and has a slender build. He may have brown hair, unknown length. He was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and blue-jeans and was possibly carrying a hunting knife.

Anyone with information on this subject is asked to contact the Anna PD at 972-547-5350.

***Parents, please educate your children about the inherent dangers of talking to strangers!!***

Here is another thing to be aware of.

A month or so ago I noticed a older white "scary van" (that is what my daughter calls the work looking 70's style vans) driving really slow down our road.  It turned around in the neighbors drive and I was walking out to get the mail at the time - so the van turned around and left.  Well I did not think much at the time just thought maybe they could not find a house it was looking for.  Then 2 days later - same van driving really slow - same thing.  I thought it was odd but I did not call right away, don't know why.  But several days later I thought more about it and called the non emergency number and was talking to the dispatch lady.  Apparently this van has been doing it in other neighborhoods - mine (Wildwood), Oak Hollow, the one beside the dollar store, and the one across from the dollar store.  These are at least the neighborhoods where someone has called in about it.  Anyways, I have not seen it in our neighborhood since but on Halloween night I saw that van driving through the neighborhoods of Oak Hollow.  The Police seem to think it may be playing a part in some of the break in so please be aware --- if you see an older white work van, no windows in the back just the front windows, and whatever wording has been removed from the back --- driving through your neighborhood just please call the non emergency number because they want to try to talk to them!

Thanks for the number. We saw this white van driving around our neighborhood on Halloween night just before the sun was going down. We thought it was strange because he was going so slow and stopping and looking at houses. I got a good look at the guy driving. He was an older white man with a long white and gray beard and I think long hair. I will keep my eyes open for the van again.

Was this the guy with the white beard in the van?  Maybe he was just checking who had been naughty and nice?



Seriously, though, I don't want to make light of this situation.  Keep your kids close to you.  We have a registered sex offender 2 doors down from us.

I saw the same van about a month ago cruisin' real slow through Oak Hollow. He came down Cedar Trl, turned left onto Cottonwood Trl (our street) and was going super slow. He came back around a second time, same way, only turning right onto Cottonwood. Has anyone been able to get a license plate number or partial number? I'm gonna keep an eye out for sure now that I know he's been seen in other neighborhood's.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Any word? Is he still hanging around?
