A man possibly 60 years old posed as a truancy officer and asked a 24-year-old woman for identification in an Arvada parking lot, police said Tuesday.
Jefferson County schools do not use truancy officers, Arvada police said.
“It is unclear what the man’s intentions were,” police state.
The department advised anyone who comes in contact with the man claiming to be a truancy officer to notify local police immediately.
He approached the young woman near West 64th Avenue and Simms Street on Aug. 12 as she was leaving a business, police said.
“He asked to see the woman’s identification and later asked her what she was doing out of school,” Arvada police said in a media release.
He returned her identification and drove away in a white sport-utility vehicle with a magnetic sign on the door that said “Jeffco School Safety.” according to police.
He was described as white, between 60 and 65 years old, with “salt-and-pepper” hair.
