The Mukilteo Police Department has received a report of what appears to be an attempted child luring in the 4800 block of 92nd Street Southwest on Friday, March 5.

Mukilteo Police officers responded to the area around 1:30 p.m. after a parent reported their two children encountered a man in a blue/grey 4-door sedan, who “lunged” at their children.

The man is described as Caucasian, around 6 feet tall with a medium frame, wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, and a black ski mask. The suspect exited his vehicle, and quickly walked towards the children, who ran towards 92nd Street Park. The man walked towards the children for about 15 feet before returning to his vehicle, and leaving eastbound on 92nd Street Southwest.

Initial reports of the vehicle describe it as being an early 2000 model 4-door sedan with black rims and blue/grey (possibly matte grey) in color. The vehicle had garbage throughout the interior, and the windows were not tinted.
