Aurora police are alerting the area residents and law officers that two separate incidents of child luring attempts — one outside of an elementary school — were reported Tuesday. Both incidents involved adult men that attempted to lure young girls into vehicles.
The first attempted child-luring incident was reported between 2:20 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. when a man repeatedly gestured to a 10-year-old girl and told her to ‘come here’ in the 100 block of South Randall Road. The man was described as a male/white in his 20’s with a black baseball hat with a blue and white logo worn backwards. He as also wearing a black leather jacket and large sunglasses. His vehicle was described as a red Chevrolet S-10 or similar model pickup truck with a cracked windshield. The girl ran back to school and informed school staff of the incident.
The second attempted child-luring incident was reported about 7:20 p.m. near the intersection of Greenwood Drive and Lilac Lane when a 9-year-old girl was approached by a man driving a small panel van who also told the girl to ‘come here.’ No offender description is available because the girl did not get a good look at the driver. The driver’s vehicle was described as a small, gray panel van with no rear windows, and no lettering or other markings. The girl ran home from the offender.
Any citizens with information are urged to call Aurora police investigators at 630-256-5500 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000.
