Two Months, Two Attempted Child Abductions in Dunwoody

Dunwoody Police are looking for a man who attempted to abduct a teen at Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Cotillion Drive about 2:30 p.m., on Saturday, May 25.

A Channel 2 News report said the man pulled up in his white van and asked if she wanted a ride.  Dunwoody Police Sgt. Mike Carlson told Channel 2 that the man exited the van and tried to force the teen inside. 

“She did fight back,” said Carlson, in the story. “She ended up striking the suspect in the groin. He finally released her. He ended up getting back into the van and turned around.”

The victim described the suspect as a white male, wearing a blue ball cap, and a white sleeveless shirt, driving a newer model white work-type van.

A Dunwoody Police description adds that the suspect is about 6-foot-1, slim weighing 140-160 pounds, and in his mid 20s to 30s.  See the attached sketch.

Anyone with information regarding this person of interest or incident is asked to contact the Dunwoody Police Department, Det. Parsons at 678-382-6925 or Robert.Parsons@dunwoodyga.gov

In that case, police said two white males exited an older model, white, boxy style SUV several times to approach the girl, but sped away when the she notified some nearby adults of the incident.
