LANCASTER – Lancaster Sheriff’s Station has released a composite sketches of the suspect who tried to lure an 11-year-old girl into his vehicle on Thursday, as the girl was walking home from New Vista Elementary School (753 East Avenue K-2, Lancaster, CA 93535).
According to detectives, around 10:20 a.m. on August 15, the suspect approached the child near the intersection of Avenue K and Challenger Way and attempted to entice the child into his vehicle.
The child rejected the attempts and continued walking eastbound on Avenue K. A passing motorist observed the interaction and became concerned for the child’s safety. The motorist made a U-turn and the suspect sped away, apparently in response to motorist’s presence.
The motorist saw the victim was clearly frightened, so she drove the victim home and subsequently notified law enforcement.
The suspect is described as a middle-aged Hispanic male with a thin build and a moustache. He was driving a white compact vehicle at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact Detective Melissa Sullivan at 661-940-3857.
soapbox journal says
If a child is sent home from school, a guardian has to pick the child up, no child is released to walk home at 10:20 am without some one from his or her emergency card with them.
Nancy P. says
That’s not true. I have called the area school a number of times about kids walking “home” because they were sick.
Nancy P. says
The Middle School at 27th W and Avenue J, is the school I mentioned regarding releasing kids to walk home alone during the school day.

Mi says
What was the child doing out of school at 10:20 in the AM anyways. Shouldnt she have been in school?
IJS says
What difference does that make. What if she was being sent home from school for some reason. Your an idiot, how about asking the question of why is some Herbert the Pervert trying to kidnap a 11yr old. Would you still ask this question if it were your daughter, sister, niece, or cousin.

If castration was used to punish sex offenders I wonder how many would even try pulling stunts like this.
pamela says
because sex crimes are rarely about the act of sex…….these people should be put down like the sick animals they are!

Haha that’s funny. She wouldn’t get into the rapist car but she got into the other random civilians car that tried helping her.
Up2here says
Probably because it was a woman. No, it wasn’t a good idea but thank God it turned out ok. Hope they catch the guy before he does hurt someone.
