The driver of the vehicle is described as a Black male in his 30s with a heavy build, has a short haircut, and speaks with a French accent.
Police said patrols will be increased in the area through Thursday.
"It's concerning," Joe Glynn, who lives on Monroe Avenue, said about the incident. "There are a couple of schools around here and there's a lot of kids walking up and down the street. It's disheartening to hear that is going on here in Westbrook."
Glynn told NEWS CENTER Maine Monroe Avenue is typically peaceful.
