A man taking photographs of children at a local church playground Thursday gave church employees cause for suspicion, especially after an attempted abduction reported in the vicinity weeks earlier. The man, who was described as having a pale complexion, white hair, a mark on his face and between 60 and 70 years of age, approached the First United Methodist Church playground on Walnut Street and began taking pictures of the children playing, said Statesboro Police Capt. Scott P. Brunson. Church employees confronted the man, who told them he was from out of town and “just wanted to take pictures,” he said.
