September 5, 2017 (Poway) – The Sheriff seeks public help to locate three suspects in a white van who reportedly tried to kidnap two boys, ages 9 and 12.

According to the boys, the van pulled up next to them as they were walking along Martincoit Road on Thursday, August 21st.  A front passenger wearing a black ski mask tried to grab the 12-year-old through an open window and ordered him to “Get in the car.”

The boys managed to get away and run to a friend’s house, where they called 911, said Sergeant Robert Roberson.

The man in the ski mask was described as possibly a white male, with muscular, hair arms.  The vehicle was described as an older model, dirty white van with a dent over the rear passenger tire well.

No one was injured and there were no witnesses.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Poway Station at (858) 513-2800.

That Is Sick !

They will get caught. One of the three will get arrested for something else and will make a deal to get a reduced sentence.
The cops will be looking for a white van with a dent, police don't like the people who do this.
