Deputies step up patrols after suspicious car spotted near bus stop

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County deputies have added extra patrols in a neighborhood after a suspicious car was seen waiting by the school bus stop Monday afternoon.

Natalie Goodwin says her middle school-aged son spotted the older model blue Honda near his stop.

When he told his mother, she became alarmed as she watched the car slowly pull away.

“It was creepy. I don't know how else to put it. Other then it was creepy. It was just really slow,” she said.

Goodwin said the Fieldstone subdivision where they live is a quiet neighborhood where people watch out for one another.

She says the bus driver even seemed suspicious, asking the kids before dropping them off if anyone had seen the car before.

Goodwin says it appeared to be a young male driver in an older model blue Honda and other neighbors farther down in the subdivision also reported seeing the car hanging around driving slowly.

Goodwin says she was told the bus driver reported the incident to police.

She says she was relieved to see Forsyth County deputies patrolling the area this morning during bus pickup times.

“As a mother, (it’s very concerning). I don't let my kids go anywhere by themselves. If they're not together, they don't go,” she said.
