Two males believed to be in their teens offered the student candy before laughing and driving away, according to superintendent Dr. Robert Feirsen.
A student walking home in the vicinity of Tremont Street was stopped by two males believed to be in their teens who asked the student if the student wanted candy, according to an alert issued to parents on the Garden City School District's website Friday.
Before the student could reply, the two males in the car, who appeared to be recording the incident with a cell phone, laughed and left the scene, according to the alert.
