KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police in Leavenworth are asking the public for help in an attempted kidnapping investigation last Wednesday.
According to a social media post, sometime between 3 and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, a light-skinned Black juvenile female was looking for her lost canines in the area of S. Broadway Street and Kansas Street.
Around 10th Avenue and Broadway, a light-colored, four-door truck approached the girl. A white male driver asked her if she needed a ride to help look for the missing dogs.
The girl told police the man aggressively and repeatedly tried to get her into his truck before he grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the truck.
The girl was able to escape. She was unable to describe any details about the truck but described the man as middle-aged with salt-and-pepper hair.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Leavenworth Police Department at 913-682-4411.
