GREENVILLE, S.C. – The manager of a South Carolina apartment complex is warning residents that if they see a clown, they should call police, reports CBS affiliate WSPA.

A letter from the manager to residents of Fleetwood Manor Apartments in Greenville, South Carolina, claims there have been “a lot of complaints” about “a clown or a person dressed in clown clothing ... trying to lure children in the woods.”

In an Aug. 21 report to Greenville County deputies, a woman said her son had seen “clowns in the woods” around 8:30 p.m. An investigating deputy then spoke with another person who said a clown was also seen near a garbage dumpster.

The person said the clown waved at her and she waved back, but the clown did not approach.
