Latest Luring Incident Reported in Paramus

Over the past month approximately 15 luring incidents have been reported across Bergen County and on Tuesday afternoon, Paramus Police received their first reported incident.

According to Lt. John Scully, the department was notified on Tuesday that a resident's 10-year-old son had been approached on Oct. 11 while walking home from school. 

At that time, a white man with a full head of hair, facial stubble, and wearing sunglasses, drove along Lucky Hollow Drive in a black or gray vehicle. He then asked the youth if he needed a ride home and subsequently drove off when the boy did not respond.

Similar incidents have been reported in Maywood, Bergenfield, Westwood, Oradell, New Milford, Hackensack and Northvale. In those cases, the children involved identified a single middle-age or older white male as the perpetrator. The description of the individual and his vehicle varies, however.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Paramus Police Department at 201-262-3400.
