According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department news release, on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 6:35 p.m., a 13-year-old male juvenile was walking in his neighborhood in the vicinity of Chanticleer and Gold Buckle. The suspect, described as a black male adult, approximately 30-40 years of age and six feet tall, with a thin build and short black hair, stopped his vehicle next to the boy and asked him for directions.
The boy told the suspect he did not know where the street was and started to walk away. The suspect then offered the victim candy if he would help him find the street. This caused the victim to become scared and walk faster away from the car. The suspect got out of the vehicle but did not approach the victim as he was too far away.
The vehicle is described as a black sedan, with black tinted windows, a spoiler on the trunk lid and an antenna decoration that resembled a red shot gun casing. Also, there was fast food trash on the dash of the vehicle.
The Highland Police Department and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department would like to remind parents to speak with their children about the dangers in talking to strangers and getting into a vehicle with a person they do not know.
Anyone with information about the attempted abduction is asked to call Deputy P. Gentry at Highland Police Department at (909) 425-9793.
