Crime Statesboro logo
A possible child abduction attempt has police seeking information on a man who reportedly tried Wednesday night to lure a young girl into his car by offering her candy. The man, described as "a white male wearing a short sleeve shirt (unknown color) and black pants" was driving a "red 4-door sedan with the word ‘Nissan' in white letters on the right, rear quarter panel," Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner said in a news release issued Thursday. The victim's mother, Kelley Skinner, told the Statesboro Herald Thursday that her daughter, age 7, was walking the family dog near their Stadium Walk apartment when the man approached her and moved as if he was going to grab her.
