Police have released surveillance photos of a man that reportedly tried to lure two children into his vehicle at a Laurence Harbor Quick Check.
According to police, a man attempted to lure two children at the Quick Check on Cliffwood Avenue in Laurence Harbor today.
The man reportedly purchased snacks for the two children and then attempted to get them to go outside with him to his car after offering them hats and fidget spinners.
One of the children felt uncomfortable and notified the store staff. As the staff intervened, the suspect insisted the children were going with him.
The suspect left the store after being told to do so by staff.
He left the area in the pictured white Toyota, possibly a Corolla.
The suspect is described as a thin, white male in his late twenties or thirties. He was last seen wearing a gold Yankees hat, sunglasses, and a red Nike t-shirt. He was described as having brown scruff on his face as if he was unshaven.
