On the morning of Monday October 8th, a child was walking in the 3200 block of N Ferrall St., when they were contacted by a white male in a green truck. The male offered the child candy to get inside the truck. The incident was not reported to law enforcement for more than a week.

The suspect has been described as a white male in his 20’s with a blondish/red goatee, baseball cap, and is driving the green truck with a white stripe along the bottom. A photograph of the truck was obtained from surveillance video and is attached to this release. It appears to be a teal green pre 1996 Ford F150 single cab series truck with a white stripe along the bottom of the truck.

Spokane Police take the safety of our children as one of the highest priorities. If you have any information regarding this incident or this vehicle please call Crime Check at (509)456-2233.
