CHESTER COUNTY, S.C. — Chester County deputies said they have increased patrols after receiving multiple reports of men approaching teenage girls in a white van.
Two teens told deputies that they felt very uncomfortable when a man pulled up in the van and tried to talk to them in two separate incidents.

One girl told authorities she was followed.
In each case, the girls reported there were at least two men inside the van.
Surveillance cameras captured images of the van at the BP and Quik Trip gas stations on Lancaster Highway off Interstate 77.
In a Facebook post, the Richburg Fire Department said the van has a gray spot on the hood where the paint chipped off. Anyone who sees anything suspicious should call 911.
Even though nothing criminal has happened yet, law enforcement and community members are on high alert.
"Having young kids, it has a personal impact with me," Chester County Sheriff Max Dorsey said.
