Child Luring Outside School Stopped By Students: Falls Twp PD

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — The Pennsbury School District has acknowledged an attempted luring of a child just off the property of Pennsbury High School on the afternoon of Friday, March 18.

According to a statement from the Superintendent of Schools and the high school's principal, the incident occurred on Queen Anne Boulevard, between South Olds and Trenton Road, around 2:30 p.m.
