MOSCOW - The Moscow Police Department is still searching for a possible suspect in an attempted child enticement incident.

Police say on Tuesday afternoon around 3:45 a 12-year-old boy was approached by a man near the corner of East 6th Street and Mountain View Road. Police say the suspect told the boy to get into his truck three times and on the third request grabbed the upper back of the boy's coat.

The boy was able to escape the man's grasp and run away. The suspect then allegedly followed the boy north on Mountain View before turning around and driving away. The victim says cars passed him while he was running on the sidewalk of Mountain View Road.

The suspect is described as a white male, in his mid 30's, around 5' 6, with a mustache and reddish hair. Police described the truck he was driving as a newer brown Dodge Ram with dirt on the sides.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Moscow Police.
