NORTH TEXAS – During the first week of school, Richardson ISD will have increased safety and security staff presence near J.J. Pearce High School. This comes as police investigate a suspicious vehicle that appeared to be following a student. Part of the incident was caught on home surveillance video.
Shane Burke said his workday was just starting, around 8 a.m. Monday, when a J.J. Pearce High School student rang his doorbell.
“She was obviously in distress and upset and she explained someone had been following her and going back and forth and on Melrose, turning around and coming back,” he said.
He said at first, he wasn’t overly worried, but then he checked his security camera video.
“When I saw what was actually happening, I knew that this is actually serious,” he said. “She was totally correct about what she thought was happening.”
In his video, you can see a black Toyota Corolla going back and forth on Melrose Drive near Melrose Circle. The teen hides behind a tree, then moves around Burke’s car, visibly shaken, before heading for his front door.
