May 20, 2010 (El Cajon) – El Cajon Police seek a red Chevrolet El Camino with silver hubcabs and two men accused of grabbing and trying to kidnap a 12-year-old boy at 8 p.m. tonight in the 99 Cents store at 1766 East Main Street. The same men also allegedly approached a group of boys outside earlier.

One suspect is described as a 55-60 year old white man with white hair, bushy eye brows, and a pot belly. He is approximately 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 230 pounds, and was wearing a Blue Chargers shirt and tan cargo pants. The other suspect is a white man age 45-50 with brown hair and a mustache. He wore a black T-shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes and a black ball cap.

 

According to police, four juveniles ages 12-17 were walking to the store when they passed a Chevron station at Main and Greenfield, where a red El Camino was parked with two men inside. One of the men spoke to the boys, but they did not respond. The car was in good condition with silver hubcabs.
 

Inside the 99 Cents store, the 12-year-old boy was approached by the same men. The older man grabbed the boy by the arm, told him to be quiet and tried to walk him outside. The boy yelled and the second suspect also ordered him to be quiet. The suspects left the victim, who immediately alerted a store employee. The employee spoke to one of the suspects, then turned to speak to the boy again. The suspects fled the store before the employee could get back to them.

If you have information on the identity of these suspects, call the El Cajon Police at (619)579-3311.
