The police were investigating after someone reported the attempted child luring happened in the 8100 block of Kelly Drive in West Hanover Township around 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 8, according to the original release by the police.

The suspect was described as an Indian or Hispanic man in his 20's, who is about 5'8" with a thin build, police say.

This would have been the second "child luring" attempt in the county in 2022.
