Larimer County Sheriff’s deputies and investigators were called to Carrie Martin Elementary School in Loveland at approximately 3:30 this afternoon on the report of a man trying to pick up a young girl.
A 13-year-old Loveland girl reported that she was followed by a white male with salt & pepper hair and a white or grey goatee driving a maroon car with faded paint who asked her if she needed a ride. The girl immediately ran into the school and the car sped off.
The car reportedly was a mid to late 90’s mid-size sedan, maroon in color with very faded paint in spots and an unidentified graphic on the side.
