Police on Friday issued a warning about two incidents in which men tried to lure girls into their vehicles in Forest Park.
A press release from the Forest Park Police Department said both incidents occurred Wednesday.
The first incident occurred on Glade Road. Two males in a white SUV tried to lure two girls, ages 7 and 12, into their vehicle as they walked to school. The girls refused and kept walking, the statement said.
The men did not attempt to force the girls into the car and did not follow them, authorities said. Both girls made it to school safely.
The second incident occurred on West Street. Four males approached a 10-year-old girl and tried to lure her into a dark 4-door car, possibly a Ford Crown Victoria. The girl dropped her book bag and ran away. The men did not attempt to follow her and left the area, police said.
In light of the two incidents, police are asking the public to be vigilant and look out for school-age children walking to and from school. Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call Forest Park police at 404-366-4141.
