On Aug. 7, at approximately 11:46 a.m., Deptford Township Police Officers were advised of a suspicious incident that occurred on Aug. 6. The incident occurred at Deptford Township Memorial Park (formerly Fasola Park), located at 12 Sycamore Ln. The incident allegedly involved a young female, approximately 9 to10 years of age, approaching park-goers and their children.
Our officers immediately responded to the park and were able to identify the 9-year-old female, who was currently at the park with her mother. The young girl’s mother informed officers that her daughter has special needs and finds comfort engaging with other park-goers. The young girl was in no distress and appeared well cared for.
We encourage all residents and visitors to enjoy our wonderful parks and recreation areas. As always, if you observe something suspicious, we want to know.
Please call us at 856-845-2220 or dial 911.
