PRICE TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY - It's a parents worst nightmare, their child being lured away by a stranger. State Police are now putting parents on alert after someone tried to lure an eight-year-old into a car Monday night.
The attempted child luring happened at the Sunset Estates Community in Price Township. News of the luring shocked neighbors.
"It's very quiet. It's off the beaten path. It's not like we're in Mount Pocono or Tobyhanna," neighbor Mike Diaz said.
Monday night, state police say a white male in a blue pick-up truck approached an eight-year-old girl who was riding her bike. He tried to get her in the truck, but she ran home and told her mother. Her mother called police. The young girl was not hurt.
Anyone with information on the attempted luring is urged to call State Police in Swiftwater. | |
