JSO is investigating two cases over the past few weeks that appear to be connected, where a man is attempting to lure young girls into his vehicle. In one case, a girl was sexually battered.
The first incident happened in the area of Chaffee Road and Old Plank Road. Police say the 11-year-old girl was walking home when a red vehicle drove up from behind and stopped next to her. The driver began a conversation with the victim and attempted to lure her into his vehicle.
In both instances, the suspect is described as mixed or bi-racial with a deep voice and green eyes. He was described as being tall, lean and muscular with black, wavy slicked back hair. The suspect was also said to have tattoos on his left arm that appeared to be a dragon and roses.
