Beaumont Police Press Release and image

On Friday, May 29, 2015 at approximately 7:30 am, two males in a black truck drove up to a 10 year old female student who was sitting near a locked gate to Sundance Elementary School. The passenger had the window down and proceeded to ask the student if she wanted a ride and if she wanted to get into the truck. A teacher heard the interaction and quickly responded making sure the student was safe. The occupants in the vehicle made no attempt to approach the student, did not exit the vehicle and left the area immediately.

Officers checked the immediate area and surrounding schools in an attempt to locate the occupants and vehicle but were unable to locate either. A composite sketch of the suspect was created with the assistance of the student.

The suspect vehicle is described as a faded, black, full-size truck (possible Chevy).

The passenger (suspect #1) is described as a Hispanic male adult, possible 18 to 20 years of age.

There is no description of the driver at this time.
