Evansville Police responded to two separate complaints of a suspicious person on Wednesday evening. Both involved a man trying to lure kids into a vehicle by offering free candy.
The first incident happened in the 700 block of Wall around 5:30. A white male with facial hair told a juvenile that he had candy at his house and told the juvenile to get in the car. The child said no and left the area. The car was described as a green 4 door. The juvenile was unable to give any other details. The car may have traveled through the area several times before the man approached the child.
The second incident happened a couple hours later in the 100 block of W Oregon. A unknown race male tried to lure a juvenile into his truck by offering free candy. The child said no and left the area. The truck was white, had dark tinted windows, and lights on top.
Officers responded to both incidents, but were unable to locate either vehicle.
Anyone with info on theses incidents is asked to call 911 or WeTip at 1-800-78-CRIME.
Parents are in encouraged to talk to their children about safety. Particularly stranger danger. Some kids may feel that since it was ok to accept candy from strangers on Halloween, it is ok to accept it now.
