Man Attempted To Lure Underage Girl In Haddon Township: Police

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — An unknown man attempted to lure an underaged girl in Haddon Township over the weekend, according to police.

The man approached the child while she was riding her bicycle in the 200 block of Addison Avenue in the Westmont section on Saturday, Aug. 6, Haddon Township police said.

The man approached her in an older model 4-door tan or gold sedan and told her he was sent by her parents to pick her up and take her home, police said. The girl said no and quickly rode away.

The man is described as a white man, in his late 30s to early 40s, with a light colored skin complexion and dark colored hair. He had no facial hair and was seen wearing thin silver framed, low profile, corrective vision glasses.

Additionally, he had noticeable wrinkles at the corner of his eyes and above his nose. He was wearing an orange color short sleeve collared shirt with no noticeable writing or emblems. The victim further recalled he had hairy arms and a silver ring on his left hand ring finger.

The vehicle is described as a tan, 4-door sedan, bearing unknown New Jersey registration with a possibly discolored driver's side rear panel. It is possible that this part of the vehicle was newly painted and does not exactly match the color that is seen on the rest of the vehicle.

On Monday, Haddon Township police obtained a surveillance image of the vehicle and now believe it is possibly a 2003 gold or tan 4-door Hyundai Elantra GLS. Also on Monday, the New Jersey State Police Forensic Artist Unit completed a composite sketch of the suspect. All images are embedded below.

If anyone has additional information, they are asked to contact Haddon Township Police Det. Timothy Hak at 856-833-6209 or send information via email to: THak@HaddonTwpPolice.com.
