Wesley Hills, NY - Man Tries Luring Girl Waiting at Bus Stop Into His Car

Wesley Hills, NY - Ramapo police were searching for a man who tried to lure a 6-year-old girl into his car with candy.
The child ran back to her house and told her mother, who called police. The girl had been standing alone at a bus stop at Rainbow Court and Skyline Terrace.

The child described the man as black, with short-cropped hair in a flattop style, a mustache, and wearing blue jeans and a black short-sleeved shirt with white lettering and a decal, driving a newer model dark blue, four-door Honda sedan. "For her to get the candy, she had to get into the car with him," police said.
Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said that after speaking with the child, investigators believed someone tried to abduct her. "There is no reason for us to doubt the child," Weidel said. "We feel this is serious, and the public should know about these incidents."

This girl was the only child at the bus stop. Weidel said her mother usually watches her from the window of their house. "She took her eyes off the child for few seconds," Weidel said. "It would be preferable for the child not to wait at the bus stop alone." "It would behoove parents to wait with their child at bus stops, as opposed to sending them off alone," Weidel said.

The child attends a private school in Chestnut Ridge, and police have made the bus company aware of the incident.
