CONWAY — Police are warning parents not to leave their children unattended after a man tried to abduct a 14-year-old girl waiting for the school bus Wednesday morning. The man, described as an older heavy-set white male, was still at large Wednesday afternoon when police sent out notices asking for information to help identifying him. The incident occurred just before 7 a.m., according to the press release, near where Suren Road intersects with West Side Road. The girl’s mother watched the entire incident.
The man, a stranger, stopped across the street from the girl, opened the rear hatchback and then went directly toward the girl, according to police. The girl ran into her house as her mother came out yelling. The man then fled in a white Subaru Forester. The child was unharmed. The man was wearing a boonie-style khaki fishing hat and a T-shirt. He was described as balding with a big belly. The Conway Police Department immediately notified the superintendent’s office of the incident, and police recommended that parents not leave their children unattended at bus stops. Authorities are still looking for information. Contact Conway Police Department is (603) 356-5715.
