Orinda Intermediate School Student Approached By Man, Advisory Issued

Orinda Intermediate School officials sent an advisory to the parents of students Friday after a man approached an OIS student as he was walking home from a bus stop in Castlegate.

School officials said the incident was reported at roughly 3:45 p.m. Thursday when the student was on his way home from the bus stop at Stein Way and Oak Road. The student told officials a man in his 20s with two dogs got out of a small, black car and approached him, asking if the boy wanted to play with the dogs.

The student told the man he did not want to and ran off.

The man was described as being of average build, with chin-length dirty blond hair. He was wearing jeans. His car had an unwashed appearance.

Parents are being asked to review safety procedures with their children and to contact Orinda police in the event of any future occurrences.
