The Hollister Police Department is looking for a man who they suspect tried to entice two minors into entering his car near R.O. Hardin School on Monday, according to a statement from police.
At about 2:50 p.m. Monday, a car approached two students as they had been walking on Line Street south of the school. The driver yelled forcefully at one of them, a girl, to “get in the car,” according to police. They kept walking, but the driver continued following them and repeatedly asked one of them to get into the car, despite being told they would call police, according to the statement.
The driver drove past them and turned onto Apricot Lane. As the two neared that street, they saw him on foot and met a group of adults and children in the area of Nash Road and Line Street. The suspect’s car drove off from there onto Nash Road, according to police.
They described the car as tan and an older model station wagon, possibly an Oldsmobile. It had tinted windows and shiny wheels, while in poor condition. They described the suspect as a Hispanic male in his mid- to late-30s with dark, curly hair, a mustache and a full beard. Witnesses said he walked with a limp.
Police are investigating the case and anyone with information should call (831) 636-4330 or WeTIP at (800) 78- CRIME.
