HAMILTON COUNTY, Ind. — A man tried to lure a 13-year-old Hamilton County student into his vehicle Monday morning, leading to local police to warn the public of suspicious behavior.
The incident happened in the 20200 block of Cumberland Road shortly before 7 a.m.
The student was waiting at the end of a driveway when a white Ford Explorer pulled up. The driver of the Explorer told the student that the bus driver had sent him to pick them up due to missing the bus.
The student didn't believe the story and returned to the house while the SUV drove away.
The vehicle was described as an older model white Explorer with a dent in the tailgate and possibly a missing or inoperable center brake light. The father of the student verified the description of the vehicle.
The driver of the Explorer was described as a dark-skinned, balding, African-American man wearing glasses and a shaggy beard. He looked to be in his mid-30s, police say.
Anybody in the area is encouraged to report any suspicious activity. No similar incidents have been reported to local law enforcement. Anyone with additional information should contact Hamilton County Public Safety Communications at 317-773-1282.
