  JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department is seeking the public’s help identifying the suspect in an attempted luring incident that occurred on Pitney Lane near Danielle Court.

 Around 12:28 p.m. on October 30, the 13-year-old female victim was walking on Pitney Lane near Danielle Court when a car drove up to her. At this time, the victim used her phone to video record the car.

  The car backed up towards the victim and the driver asked “Are you cold? I can give you a ride. Get in my car.”

  The victim then ran to the nearest residence on Danielle Court and the suspect left the area on Pitney Lane towards East Veterans Highway.

  The suspect is described as an approximately 40-year-old Hispanic male, with short brown hair and wearing a dark colored t-shirt. No further description is available at this time.

  The car seems to be a 2007-2014 GMC Yukon XL, color white. Although it appears to have a NJ registration of VLP61C, that registration comes back not on file, police said. Numerous registration combinations were also negative. The car has what appears to be black painted six spoke wheels and also seems to be missing its rear window wiper.

  Anyone with information in regards to the car and/ or its driver should contact Detective Dominic Manion at 732-833-3016 or Jackson Police Dispatch at 732-928-1111.
