The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, San Dimas Station, is currently investigating a report of Annoying or Molesting Children that allegedly occurred on Valley Center Avenue, just south of Cypress Street, San Dimas. Although recently reported, the incident took place on September 14, 2023, at approximately 4 pm, when a Black male adult, who was wearing a mask and driving a dark blue 2-door sedan, exposed himself to a 11-year-old girl who was walking home from school. The male, who got the child’s attention by speaking to her through the passenger side window, sat in the driver’s side of the vehicle and began touching himself, while he engaged the girl in conversation. The girl ran away, and the suspect fled from the location.

Safety Tips
As students make their way to and from school, it is always a good idea for them to focus on their surroundings and personal safety. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department would like to take this opportunity to ask parents to speak with their children and encourage them to take the necessary precautions to stay safe:
- Always walk or bike with other students.
- Be alert to what is happening and who is around you.
- Never go near a stranger's car.
- Never accept rides from a stranger.
- If a stranger attempts to contact you, engage you in conversation, makes you come with them or makes you feel uncomfortable, scream, and run away. Find an adult you know and report what happened immediately.
- Be cognizant of your surroundings. Keep your head “on a swivel,” which means look around you, not just in front of you.
The safety and security of our students is our top priority and working together, we can provide safe environments for them. Thank you for your support and assistance as we continue to work hard to keep all our students safe.
