VIDEO: Drivers of this Van Allegedly Tried to Lure in Young Boy
The occupants were described as a male and female in their mid '60s.
UPDATE: We ran a story last week about an 11-year-old boy who said that a man and a woman in their 60s attempted to lure him into their green van. This week, police released home security video that they believe shows van in question. You can view it above.
We receied word from a neighbor that the boy was walking his dog; not riding his bike, as it says in police department's release. The release also says the van is green, which is being questioned in the comments below. We'll look into more specifics soon, but for now I'll upload the police report so you can see. The PDF is right below the video above.
