AURORA | A pair of men driving an older, black sedan attempted but failed to lure two children into a car yesterday afternoon in Aurora’s Mission Viejo neighborhood, according to the Aurora Police Department.
Police said the driver and the passenger, who were described as white men in their 20s, approached the children at about 3:15 p.m. Monday afternoon near the corner of South Alicia Parkway and South Memphis Street. The passenger may have had a light-colored mustache, police wrote on Facebook.
The children fled the scene and are reported safe, police said. Police did not specify the age or gender of the two children who were targeted.
Officers responded to the scene, which is adjacent to Mission Viejo park, but were unable to locate any subjects.
Investigators are asking people with any potential information to call APD at 303-627-3100.
The attempted luring comes about a week-and-a-half after an 11-year-old girl fended off a potential abductor near Expo Park, and about a month after two different girls were reportedly lured into a car and raped near Overland High School and Prairie Middle School. Police have made arrests related to all three crimes.
