On July 22nd,  at approximately 5:30 p.m., two girls under the age of 10 were playing outside their apartment complex located at 33538 Marshall Road when they were approached by an unknown man who attempted
to lure them into his vehicle.

During the encounter, one of the girls called out for her parents, who were nearby, prompting the suspect to leave the area. The girls were not physically harmed during the incident. The suspect is described as a South Asian male in his 50s, between 5'5" and 5'9" tall, with a heavy build and a noticeable belly. Investigators believe he may be associated to a light-coloured sedan.
