Community Alert: Child Abduction/Child Luring Attempt

On February 1, 2012, in the 2600 block of W North Avenue, at approximately 5 p.m. a person described as either a male White or Hispanic possibly driving a older model, Toyota Camry 4-door, pulled alongside the 13-year-old female and asked for her name and age. The unknown male also asked her if she wanted a ride. The child entered a local store at which time the suspect completed a u-turn and parked his vehicle down the street in a parking lot waiting for the child to exit the store. After the child left the store, the suspect again followed the child as she walked until she made contact with a relative at a bus stop. 

On February 2, 2012, the child was leaving for school through an alley behind her home with her younger sister when she noticed the suspect in his vehicle parked in the alley several houses away. The suspect followed the child and her sister for a short time as they walked through the alley to school until a cul-de-sac prohibited further vehicle movement.
