Richland Police Seek Luring Suspect – Tried to Get Teens Into Vehicle

Extra patrols have been added in Richland, searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a creepy luring incident.

Two teenage boys reported to police Saturday evening April 4th, while they were skateboarding near Westcliffe and Brantingham Blvd, they were approached by a suspect who drove up behind them around 10:15pm.

The boys said the driver pulled out of a residential street, came up behind them, and attempted to get the boys to enter his vehicle. They described him as being very "pushy."

The two boys quickly rode away on their skateboards, and called 911.  Richland police could not find a vehicle matching the description given by the boys, but officers say extra patrols have been added to the area, and Mid-Columbia authorities are searching for the vehicle all over the area.
