TYRONE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Kent County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a suspicious person after a man approached a young girl outside of her home.

Deputies say the eight-year-old girl was outside of her home on Daisy Lane NW around 4:45 p.m. Thursday.

That’s when the sheriff’s office says a dark-colored SUV pulled up to the girl and the driver asked her if she wanted to go with him.

The young girl ran back inside her home.

The sheriff’s office says the driver was a white man who’s about 30 years old with short hair, a beard and glasses.

Now, deputies are asking neighbors to check doorbell and surveillance cameras.
