Cd'A PD seeks help finding man suspected of enticement

Police in Coeur d’Alene are looking for a man suspected of trying to entice a young child and a woman to go with him.

Officers have received two reports involving a white man with “longer” white hair, approximately 70 or 80. The suspect’s vehicle is described as a red older passenger car, possibly a Honda or Ford Taurus. It may have tinted windows.

The mother of a 7-year-old reported that a man fitting the suspect’s description approached her child around 7 p.m. Sunday in the 1200 block of Syringa Drive. The mother reported that the man was in a red passenger car that pulled up next to her daughter as she was walking along the street. The man in the car began asking the child personal and inappropriate questions. The victim’s older brother observed the interaction and told his sister to go home. The suspect drove away.

A woman, 25, reported that on May 21 at 1 p.m. a man matching the suspect’s description, with a similar vehicle, began speaking to her as she walked across the parking lot of the Safeway store on Fourth Street. The woman told officers the man asked her inappropriate questions and motioned. She said she went back into the store because the man made her feel uncomfortable.

Officers would like to speak with this man. Anyone with any information about this individual is asked to contact the Coeur d’Alene Police Department at 208-769-2320, or the tip line at [email protected].
