Braidwood, IL – Braidwood Police are issuing an alert to parents following a concerning incident Tuesday afternoon.
According to reports it happened around 3:20 p.m. while a local girl was walking home from school and approached by an older white male driving a black or dark blue truck near the intersection of Cermak and English.
