RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – The Fan District Association (FDA) sent out a “Special Safety Alert” Tuesday about an incident reported in the Richmond neighborhood. According to the FDA, a man in a red truck “solicited” three girls while they played outside a Fan District home about 11:20 a.m. on Aug. 5.
“Come here and play ball,” the FDA reported the man told the girls. The girls went inside the home and told an adult what happened. Richmond Police and VCU Police responded, according to the FDA.
