Original story published Wednesday, August 28:

(Miamitown, Oh.) - A 10-year-old child reported a possible abduction attempt near Miamitown Elementary School Wednesday morning.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says the child enticement case was reported at around 8:25 a.m.

A boy was walking down the street near the intersection of West Mill and Hill streets -- just a couple blocks from the school -- when he was approached by an older male operating a rusty, green-colored van. The man asked the child if he wanted a ride. After telling the man no, the child was offered candy if he got into the vehicle. 

The child told the suspect that he was going to call police. The van then fled the area.

Anybody with information is asked to contact the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office at (513) 825-1500.
