Nearby: School Officials Say Stranger Approached Girls

Man drove white van towards group of 9th graders in Massapequa.

Three 9th grade girls were approached by a strange man who drove his van towards them, Massapequa school officials said.

Massapequa Superintendent Charles Sulc sent a letter home to parents about the incident, which happened Wednesday afternoon according to a school official.

The girls were getting off a bus at around 2:40 p.m. when the van drove up at the intersection of East Shore Drive and Barberry Court.

"Someone opened the door and shouted something at the girls and then drove toward them," the letter said.

The girls ran away and the van fled on East Shore drive.  A police report has been filed in the case, according to the superintendent.

The vehicle is described as an older model white van, which had tinted windows and wood covering the license plate.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
