Attempted Abduction Reported In Jefferson County
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies are investigating an attempted abduction.
It happened between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Monday in the 8200 block of W. Toller Ave.
A 14-year-old boy was walking home from a friends house and as he neared Falcon Bluffs Middle School he watched a dark blue sedan or black sedan following him.
The man that was driving the vehicle stopped the car and yelled, "Hey!" to the boy.
The boy was frightened and began to run towards his home.
