Police seek help in two separate child enticement incidents

Police are asking for help in identifying suspects in two separate incidents of attempted child enticement in southwestern Colorado Springs this week.

Both incidents occurred after the children were walking home from school, police said.

The first incident happened about 4:45 p.m. Monday in the area of 2000 S. Corona Street when a man asked two girls, ages 4 and 9, to get in a vehicle. The suspect is described as dark-skinned, 6-foot-2, thin and possibly in his late 20s. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a black hoodie, black jeans and black shoes.

In the second incident, two men yelled at a 10-year-old girl to get in their vehicle at about 3:26 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of West Cheyenne and Cresta roads. The suspects were in a silver SUV “similar to a Jeep make,” police said.

One of the suspects is described as a man between 17 and 20 years old with dark hair and possibly wearing a white t-shirt. Police said they didn’t have a description for the other suspect.
