By viewing the posts, it appears there are two different vans. According to reports online the driver of the van in one case asked a child to get inside the van with him a few days ago. In another case in Epperson Community of Wesley Chapel the driver asked a woman to get inside and yelled vulgarities at her when she did not comply. A short time later a similar incident unfolded in Seven Oaks according to the Wesley Chapel Facebook Group.

Local authorities have been made aware and are investigating.
