Las Vegas Police Release Sketch Of Attempted Kidnapper

LAS VEGAS, NV - Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have released a sketch of a suspect they say attempted to kidnap two young girls on Feb. 6.

The first incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. when a man described as a medium built male, either white or Hispanic, between the ages of 18 and 20 with a tattoo on the right side of his neck attempted to pull a 6-year old girl into a vehicle on the 2700 block of Marlin Ave. The suspect drove off after family member confronted him. Shortly thereafter, a man approached a 7-year old girl at a playground on the 3700 block of E. Bonanza Rd. and "attempted to take her with him," police allege.
