WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (FOX 13) - Winter Haven Police are looking for a man who may have tried to intice a teen to get into his van Thursday.
Friday evening, police released a sketch artist rendering of the suspect based on descriptions provided by a witness.
It happened Thursday around 2 p.m. along Lake Elbert Drive NE near 10th St NE. Witnesses said they saw a black male, between 50 and 60 years old, driving a white van with tinted windows and the hood ajar, and asking a 15-year-old girl if she wanted a ride.
After a few attempts, witnesses said the man pulled the van in front of the girl and told her to get in.
