Suspicious Persons/Attempted Abduction
Blue Springs, Mo. – On Saturday April 11, 2009 at approximately 1:49 p.m., 2 children stated they were approached by three African American males in a sky blue van, possibly a Ford Areostar, with heavy damage on the front driver's side of the vehicle in the area of the 500 block of Knox Place.
The males allegedly tried to entice the two children to come to van by offering candy and asked the kids if they wanted to pet their puppy. The older child ran for help and the van was last seen southbound on Knox Place.
Chief Wayne McCoy and investigators from the Blue Springs Police Department have asked that the public assist in locating a sky blue van described below as a vehicle of interest in a possible child enticement. Please call the Blue Springs Police Department immediately if you have any information about this vehicle.
