Howard County police met with parents after several reports of suspicious activity near school bus stops.

After a student was reportedly offered a lift to school from a stranger, police are investigating and administrators issue precautions.
Several Howard County schools sent emails to parents this week warning of “stranger danger” after a student at Rockburn Elementary said a stranger offered him a ride to school Tuesday morning.
