There has been a report of an alleged child abduction attempt in Deerfield, Illinois, on Thursday, May 2, 2013.

The incident happened at approximately 3:30 p.m., on Fairview Avenue.

The alleged incident involved a woman who drove a vehicle, asking a 13-year-old girl if she wanted a ride home from school.

Then, according to an excerpt from the Highland Park & Deerfield TribLocal article of May 3, titled “Deerfield girl, 13, told police that woman tried to lure her” :

She refused and the driver responded that she “come and play, it will be fun,” according to a crime alert that was sent to parents of Lake Forest high School students, which Keane confirmed. After another refusal, the driver said, “I insist, get in the car,” but the girl said no a third time and the vehicle drove away, Keane confirmed.

The driver of the vehicle was described as either white or possibly Hispanic, around 35 years of age, and heavy-set.  The vehicle she was driving was described as “boxy” — possibly a Jeep Wrangler — that was either silver or gray.

Additional details and possible updates can be seen in a variety of media sources including the TribLocal article mentioned above, as well as the May 9 CBS Chicago article titled “North Suburban Officials Warn Parents About Recent Abduction Attempts.”
