3 Local Kids Lured by Strange Men: Cops

Three Chester County children approached by strange men in the past month, police say

Police are investigating three attempted child lurings, that all happened near bus stops in Chester County. The most recent happened Monday between 6-6:30 a.m at North Everhart Avenue and West Gay Street in West Chester, according to police.

Two students told police that a man in his early to mid-20s, motioned for them to get in his car, a cream-colored sedan. The children were able to get safely on the bus, and told school administrators what had happened.

On Sept. 29 in West Goshen, a girl was waiting for the school bus at Rosedale and Ceredo avenues, when a male driver in his late 20s or early 30s, driving a "sparkly blue" car, pulled over and gestured for her to get in. When she refused, he exposed himself to her, according to police, and she ran home.

In a similar incident on Sept. 26 in East Fallowfield, a 10-year-old girl had just gotten off the bus, and was walking home to a housing development off West Chester Road, when a man in a red sedan with a silver or gray pinstripe on the side, told her to "get in the car," according to police.  The young girl was able to run home safely.
