Police Look For Man Who Tried To Lure Children To Car

The Dunwoody Police Department is asking the public to help them locate a person of interest who allegedly tried to lure two children to his vehicle.

Officers on Sunday afternoon responded to the 4900 block of Hidden Branches Drive.

Two children, who were walking their dog at the time, said they were approached by an unknown white man, according to the agency’s Facebook page. The man, who was described as possibly between the age of 50 and 60 years old, was ”casually dressed” and had thinning white hair.

The children told police the man tried to hand them a piece of paper “in an attempt to lure them closer to the car,” Dunwoody police said on its Facebook page.

“The children refused and yelled “no” at the man,” the agency wrote.

Both children ran home and reported the incident to their parents. The vehicle was described as a new model, shiny four-door car that had a triangle-shaped front end.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Dunwoody Police Department at (678) 382-6900.
