BELLEVILLE – A string of suspicious-persons incidents has Belleville Police [3] urging the public to exercise caution while out and about in the city [4].
The latest one involved a woman who was driving and noticed she was being followed by a man in a newer-model Dodge Caravan [6].
All residents should be aware of their surroundings while driving and walking on city streets, said Det.-Sgt. Jeremy Ashley.

Under the Highway Traffic Act [8], it is legal for drivers to call 911 on their phone while behind the wheel, he added.
