Police are investigating after a strange man approached a child waiting outside a Rite Aid pharmacy in Fairfield and "made inappropriate comments" while the child's mother shopped at the pharmacy.
According to police, the chlid was standing in the parking lot of Rite Aid at 1619 Post Road on Oct. 24 when a man drove up and offered the child a gift.
Police said the child refused and backed away from the man's car, described as an older model brown or tan minivan. The van then drove off through the rear driveway of the parking lot.
The suspect is described as a dark-skinned heavy set man with a thick Spanish accident and dark slicked-back hair. Police said he was wearing dark clothing.
Anyone with information is urged to call Fairfield police detectives at 203-254-4840.
