Police alert community to luring incident
A parent reported to police this morning that a subject tried to coax her daughter into his vehicle March 1 after school. The suspect attempted to coax the 15 year old girl into his silver mini-van as she was walking along South 7th Avenue. The vehicle had no license plate on the back and was described as possibly a Dodge Caravan.
The suspect was described as a heavy set Hispanic male with an orange hat, in his early 40’s. When the girl denied his offer of a ride, he followed her for a few blocks continuing to talk to her. He told her she was pretty and that he knew her dad and it was OK if he gave her a ride.
Parents are reminded to talk to their children about never accepting a ride from strangers and to call 911 immediately if it happens.
