Police Seek 2 People In Suspected Bel Air Abduction Attempt
The incident took place in the Cedarday community at the end of April; police released additional details in the case Tuesday.
Police are looking for two people suspected of trying to lure three children into a van as the children walked home from their Cedarday community bus stop in late April.
Harford County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Cedarday Drive development around 6 p.m. April 24 to take a report on the incident, according to a post on the sheriff's office website.
The children, two 10-year-olds and a 9-year-old, said a man driving a van called to them and told them to get inside the vehicle, then sped up as the children started to run, according to Explore Harford.
