Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect involved in an attempted kidnapping earlier this month. Security video caught the moment the child predator attempted to kidnap a teen girl on the street.
The suspect is described as a possibly Hispanic male in his late 20s to early 30s, 5-foot-9-inches tall, with a medium build.
He was seen wearing a black beanie, black medical facemask, black shirt, gray hooded jacket, blue jeans, black shoes, and blue medical gloves on his hands.
The man eventually gave up and got into a gray 2010 Nissan Pathfinder SUV and drove westbound on 109th Street toward Prairie Avenue.
“There’s nothing worse than a child predator,” a nearby neighbor told KTLA’s Jennifer McGraw. “And that’s happening right underneath my nose and I had no idea. I’m definitely on the lookout now.”
Anyone with information about this incident or who might recognize the man in the photo is urged to contact the Inglewood Detective Bureau at 310-412-5240. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or online at L.A. Crime Stoppers.
