SEDGWICK COUNTY —Following an arrest Thursday of a suspect for the alleged kidnapping and sexual assault of three children near a Wichita elementary school, police are investigating an incident that could have have a similar outcome.
Just before 10a.m. Friday, police were contacted by a mother who reported that on Thursday, her 13-year-old daughter was walking to school at approximately 6:30 a.m. near Douglas and West Street in Wichita.
An unknown man in a blue or green sedan approached and attempted to coerce her to get closer to his vehicle.
The 13-year-old ignored the man and continued walking, and reported the incident to her mother Thursday night.
Police investigators are working to identify the suspect in this case, and at this time it is not believed to be connected to the earlier incidents that took place in East Wichita on Wednesday and Thursday involving an abduction of three juveniles.
Police notified the school district and extra patrols have been assigned to the area.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Wichita Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
