St Joseph Police are investigating a child abduction attempt from Tuesday morning.

Police say the target was a 12-year-old boy around 10th and Olive Streets just after 8:00 a.m.

The vehicle was a white van, possibly with out-of-state license plates and all rear windows spray painted black. The van was allegedly driven by a black male with a short Afro and a patch of facial hair below his lower lip.

At least one other occupant was in the van, according to police.

The police department made the announcement Wednesday afternoon that they are seeking information from the public.
If any one has any information, they are asked to call the Tips Hotline, 238-TIPS.
