The Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office is searching for two men who have been accused of attempting to lure children into their vehicle on Sunday, April 3.
VPSO said these men made two attempts that occurred around Lebleu Road in Pickering between 3:40 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
In the first instance, a 12-year-old girl said she was walking to a neighbor’s house when the men stopped in the roadway and repeatedly called out to her, telling her to come to the truck. She became alarmed and fled to the closest home.
The second instance occurred a short distance from the first. This time three girls were playing in their yard when they said the men stopped and tried to convince them to come to their truck. The mother of the kids stepped out onto the porch and the truck fled in response.
