(WOODLAND WA) - Woodland Police are investigating an incident that occurred this morning, May 8 2013, where two males in a vehicle apparently attempted to pick up one or more children walking to school.

It was reported that between 7 and 8 a.m., a black large SUV type vehicle was in the area of Gun Club Road, in Woodland.

There were two males in the vehicle and one or more children walking to school were approached and asked if they wanted a ride to school.

At some point, the passenger in the vehicle may have tried to grab a child, but the child got away.

The Intermediate School principal reports that several other students reported similar incidents that may have occurred over the course of the past few days. A letter from the school is being sent home today with students advising parents of the incident (see attached).

The vehicle in question is described as a large black or dark colored SUV type vehicle, possibly lowered, and possibly with dark wheels and windows. It might have some kind of white sticker on the rear.

The occupants are described only as two white males.

The vehicle was reported as being parked at or near the Assembly of God Church in the 300 block of Gun Club Rd. but may also have been seen driving around neighborhoods on the east side of Woodland.

Woodland Police are actively investigating, but presently have no more information to provide.

Residents and parents are asked to keep their eyes open for vehicles matching this description, especially close to schools. If you can safely obtain a license number, do so.
