‘Free Candy’ van puts parents on edge

By Around the Web

(KOVR-TV) Neighbors spotted a suspicious white van with the words “Free Candy” painted in red driving around Natomas.

It’s something you would see on Halloween, and it had nervous parents hoping it was just a trick and not really offering treats to children.

Lawrence Bellow, 12, snapped a photo on his cellphone of the suspicious van parked outside his home.

“It looked too fake to be true, but I didn’t want to get a closer look for sure,” he said. “I was kind of nervous about it; I didn’t know what was going on so I just wanted to get evidence in case anything happened.”

He had a gut feeling the white van with blacked out windows and no license plate could be trouble.
