The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the report of a second incident of a possible attempted abduction from a school bus stop in the Willis, Texas area.
Deputies met with the child's mother in the Lake Conroe Hills Subdivision on 9-3-08 around 9:00 PM, who reported that her 5 YOA son was approached by a female driving a faded red Toyota 4-Runner and that the female asked her son to get in the vehicle. This occurred at a bus stop near the intersection of Ridgecrest and Lake Conroe Hills. The driver of the vehicle was described as Hispanic.
The mother witnessed this event and began walking towards her son at which time the suspect vehicle drove off. This incident occurred on 09-02-2008 but the mother waited until 09-03-2008 to report the incident when her son came home from school with a letter warning parents about the other incident that occurred on 08-28-2008.
The vehicle and occupant description matches the events that occurred in the 3700 block of Hickory Lane on 8-28-2008.
Detectives from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office - Major Crimes Unit and deputies with the Pct. 1 Constable's Office are working cooperatively investigating the incidents.
