Wesley Hills, NY +Police Arrested Man That Tried to Lure Child, 6
Wesley Hills, NY - Ramapo police arrested a lifelong village man who police said tried to lure a 6-year-old girl into his car with candy last week, as was reported on VOS IZ NEIAS.
Jason Wade, 24, of 11 Village Green was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree stalking, both misdemeanors, after a weeklong investigation and surveillance, said Detective Lt. Brad Weidel. "It was just good old-fashioned gumshoe detective work," Weidel said. "It's been an extensive investigation."
Weidel said police interviewed neighbors, which led them to Wade, and they began watching him over the course of the week.
Wade was spotted driving a dark blue, four-door Honda sedan near a school bus stop at Rainbow Court and Skyline Terrace at the same time and place, Weidel said, where someone tried to abduct a young girl Sept. 8. The child attends a private school in Chestnut Ridge.
Police stopped Wade on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, and he was interviewed by Ramapo police and New York State police investigators in Thiells afterward, which led to the two charges.
Wade was arraigned and is expected to appear in village Justice Court, although a time, date and bail amount has not been set.
Weidel said after the suspect offered the girl candy, the child ran back to her house and told her mother, who called police. "It's not an unusual thing for someone to come back," Weidel said. "He doesn't live that far from the area."
