LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department said Monday that it is seeking information about the identity of a male subject who attempted to lure two girls into his van on Saturday.

Lt. Jason Ferguson said Lakeport Police officers responded to the 800 block of N. Main St. at 7:30 p.m. Saturday on the report of two 11-year-old females who said that a male subject attempted to lure them into his van.

The girls reported that a man, described as 40 to 50 years old, with longer hair that had some gray color, was parked in the driveway at 800 N. Main St. in a light baby blue-colored van with no windows on the side, Ferguson said.

As the girls walked toward the van the male told them to get into the van and made an inappropriate comment – which was sexual in nature – to one of the girls, according to Ferguson.

Ferguson said the girls reported that they continued to walk and noticed the van began to follow them, so they hid behind a nearby restaurant.

The girls reported that they watched the van pass by several times, believing the male was attempting to locate them while they hid, Ferguson said.

Ferguson said the girls were able to flag down law enforcement to report the incident.

Lakeport Police officers developed information into a possible suspect, but Ferguson said both juveniles were unable to positively identify the male as the person who followed them.

Officers are continuing their investigation into the identity of the male subject in the van, Ferguson said.

Anyone with information about the subject is asked to call the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491.
