Someone allegedly tried to lure a child into a van on three separate incidents since Saturday, August 26.

A 9-year-old boy was riding his bicycle when the driver of a white cargo style van exited the vehicle and told the child to get into the van. A second person also exited the van from the front passenger side, but didn't say anything to the child. The child left the scene on his bicycle and told his mother what happened.
