MARIETTA, GA — Police are looking for two suspects and a juvenile wanted in connection with an attempted child abduction Sunday in Marietta.
Police say a six-year-old boy was riding his bike in the cul de sac of his Hawk Trace Court residence when a 10-year-old juvenile approached him and asked him if he wanted to look at his car. When the six-year-old declined, the other juvenile grabbed him by his arm and tried to drag him into a nearby white four-door sedan. The boy broke free and ran to his home, while the other juvenile got into the car.
The car was occupied by a white man and woman.
