COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — Detectives are investigating a report in which a teen told deputies that a man in a white, newer model 4-door car tried to get her to approach him on two separate occasions.

A report was made to the CCSO about both occurrences Friday afternoon.

Deputies said the passenger is described as black with black hair, brown eyes, and black facial hair. He is approximately 18-21 years old.
