'Suspicious' Man Offered Child Ride, Police Say

Hatboro Police are seeking a "suspicious" man, who reportedly attempted to pick up a 13-year-old boy Tuesday afternoon.

At 4:47 p.m., police responded to investigate the luring attempt, which occurred at the intersection of York and James roads. 

The boy reported that while he was walking home from his bus stop, a white male 30 to 35 years of age wearing glasses and a backwards ball cap and driving a newer maroon pickup truck drove by him and said, "Do you need a ride"?

The child continued walking and went directly home and informed his parents. 

The truck was last observed driving east on James Road, towards North York Road, according to an alert Hatboro Police put out Tuesday evening.

Tuesday's attempted luring was the first that police have been notified about this year, according to Hatboro Police Chief James Gardner.

Police remind residents to report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods by calling 911. Anyone with tips to report related to this incident, or other suspicious incidents can call Hatboro Police at 215-675-2832.
