Lincoln Police is investigating a report of child enticement that happened around 3:30 Tuesday afternoon near 83rd and Yankee Woods Drive.
LPD says a parent reported her children were walking home from St. Michaels School and were approached by a man not known to them in a small car. The driver asked the 11 and 7 year old children if they wanted a ride. The children became afraid and ran from the area.
The vehicle is described as a light colored, smaller 4-door car with unknown license plates. The driver is described as having a dark complexion and in his 30’s with longer curly black hair.
The vehicle was last seen in the area of South 83rd and Yankee Woods Drive. The Lincoln Police Department is asking anyone with information, or captured video of the vehicle, to come forward and call 402-441.6000. If they wish to remain anonymous, they can call Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
LPD will have an increased presence of officers near the school for the remainder of the week. Extra staff members from the school will also help with dismissal this week.
St. Michael Elementary Principal Ashley Rockey says “The safety of our students is always our top priority. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure their safety before, during and after school.”
