Overview
- An adult male approached an 8-year-old girl riding a bike on Rosemary Lane and tried to lure her into nearby woods by offering a "surprise," but the girl's father intervened and the girl was not harmed.
- The suspect fled the scene on a Segway-type vehicle and was last seen near Old US-23 and Alger Drive.
- Authorities describe the man as white or possibly Hispanic wearing blue shorts, a black polo, a light green baseball cap and a pest-control company ID badge.
- Troopers and detectives are canvassing homes for surveillance video and eyewitness accounts and ask anyone with information to call the MSP Brighton Post at 810-227-1051.
- Investigators warn that the suspect's use of a service-worker appearance to approach a child highlights a tactic for gaining trust and urge parents to talk with children about not going with strangers and reporting unusual approaches immediately.
