Lubbock Police are searching for a man possibly connected to an attempted kidnapping at a 7-Eleven on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said a man pulled up to a 14-year-old girl who was “fueling up her mother’s car while her mother paid inside” at 2611 Parkway Drive.
LPD said the suspect told the girl to get in his car, and she refused, twice. She then went inside to get her mother, according to a statement from LPD.
The suspect drove away, but returned a short time later.
“He pulled up close to her car and fanned cash while he asked, ‘how much for your daughter’. The victim’s mother called him a ‘dirty old man’ and let him know she was calling the police,” LPD said.
The suspect was described as an older white male, 5’08”, 165 lbs., with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was seen driving a white Pontiac passenger car.
