Four girls, ages 10 and 11, were walking in the area when a car pulled to the curb ahead of them. The driver remained inside staring at the girls as they walked. When they passed the stopped car, they could see the driver had his pants lowered and was exposing his genitals. The girls continued walking, and the car drove off.

The same car was seen in the neighborhood by one of the girls around 5 p.m., Tuesday, June 16, which prompted a call to Newark Police. Investigation revealed that the car has been seen driving slowly through the neighborhood on other days, including June 15, Jun14 and on or around June 2.
