Police are investigating an incident in which two men riding in a minivan attempted to lure a young girl into their vehicle on Canal View Drive, behind the Mercer Mall, on July 14, according to police Lt. Mark Ubry.
The girl, whose age was not released by police, was playing in the front yard of her home around 6 p.m. when the minivan pulled up in front of her house, Lt. Ubry said. The driver tried to lure her into the vehicle, but she refused.
The child ran into her house and told her parents, who called the Police Department, Lt. Ubry said.
The minivan, which was described as a dark color, left the area. She was unable to provide a description of the men, other than they were white or Hispanic, Lt. Ubry said.
