Local Child Predator Alert
Police patrols in portions of Wildomar are being increased following a pair of incidents in which a man accosted two students and tried to lure them into his vehicle, said Sgt. Patrick Chavez.
The man accosted the victims as they walked to and from school, Chavez said in a news release. The man has not harmed the children, but the youngsters told investigators he tried to get them to get inside his vehicle, Chavez said.
The first incident occurred on Sept. 24 near the area of Honeydew Lane and Vine Street while the elementary-age victim walked home from school.
Chavez said the man drove up behind the victim, rolled down his window and made reference about the victim’s appearance. The girl became frightened and ran from the area, Chavez said. Just prior to making contact with this victim, Chavez said, the man approached another girl and engaged her in conversation. Chavez said they are trying to find the girl and speak to her.
The second incident occurred Sept. 30 while the victim, a high school-age student, was walking to school near the area of Lake Terrace and Lemon, Chavez said.
The same suspect approached the victim after driving by in his vehicle, Chavez said. He turned around and stopped in front of her, blocking her path, Chavez said. The suspect exited his vehicle and told her she looked nice and the victim ran to a nearby church. She hid until the suspect left the area.
The suspect is described as white, in his mid-20s, 5-foot-8-inches tall, stocky build with short brown hair. The suspect’s vehicle is described as a newer, black Volkswagen Passat or Jetta 4-door.
If you see this person, please contact the police immediately.
