Three males are wanted after they attempted to coerce a youth into their vehicle in Ajax.
On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at approximately 2:15 p.m., members of West Division responded to an abduction call in the area of Griffiths Drive and Wickens Crescent. A 10-year-old male was walking home from a friend’s residence when a dark coloured four-door sedan, occupied by three males, stopped alongside him. The males in the vehicle called for the 10-year-old to come to their vehicle. When the 10-year-old ignored the suspects, they drove their vehicle onto a driveway in the victim’s path and attempted to coerce him into their car. The victim was able to flee on foot and return to his residence.
The victim did not sustain any physical injuries.
