SCHENECTADY
Public helps police probing abduction attempt

Reach Gazette reporter Steven Cook at 395-3122 or scook@dailygazette.net.

    City police Friday continued to investigate the attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl, getting help from the public.
    Several people have called police after spotting white Dodge Neons; a couple of drivers even followed the Neons for some time as officers responded, police spokesman Sgt. Eric Clifford said.
    A white Dodge Neon was captured on police surveillance footage driving away from the scene of the incident.
    Clifford, however, recommended drivers write down license plate numbers, rather than following the cars. The plates or other information can be called into the police tip line at 788-6566.
    The case began Thursday morning when a 12-year-old girl reported a man trying to lure her into a car on Craig Street.
    The girl was walking to Mont Pleasant Middle School near the bridge over Interstate 890 when she saw a white four-door car go past her several times. The driver then stopped and yelled “get in the car, get in the car,” while motioning with his hands to come over to him, police have said. ..............>>>>...............>>>>...........http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01703&AppName=1
