Stranger attempts to get Winters boy into vehicle
The Yolo County Sheriff’s Department reports that a stranger tried to abduct a 10-year-old boy who was walking in the Winters area on Sunday evening. The boy, who was not hurt during the incident, ran to a nearby neighbor’s residence after the 6 p.m. incident and they contacted the Sheriff’s Department.
The boy told deputies he had been walking home from a fast-food restaurant on Russell Boulevard in Winters with a group of friends. One of the friend’s parents picked up all the boys except for the victim because there wasn’t enough room in the vehicle. As the boy continued walking along Russell nearing Brinley Drive, a Hispanic male in a gold-colored car stopped across Russell Boulevard and told the boy to get into the vehicle. The boy told authorities he had never seen the man or the car before.
The boy described the man as 20 to 30 years old, overweight, bald, clean-shaven, wearing a black T-shirt and gold chain around his neck. He described the car as an older, four-door, gold-colored car that had a layer of dust on it as if it had been driven in a field.
The Sheriff’s Department has contacted administrators from Waggoner Elementary, Rominger Intermediate and Winters Middle schools and requested that the students and their parents be notified for safety reasons.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at (530) 668-5280.
