Man attempts to lure child into truck

The St Johns County Sheriffs Office is investigating a report that a man tried to lure a boy into his truck in a Julington Creek subdivision on Monday.

Sgt. Catherine Payne tells WOKV news they are searching for a man who tried to lure a boy into his red pickup truck in the Plantation Grove subdivision.  "The individual asked him to get into the truck and give him directions."

Investigators say the male subject eventually drove away. We've learned the young boy was not harmed, police say he went home and told his mother what happened.
Investigators are right now searching for a newer model, red Ford F-150. They say the suspect is a white male somewhere between 50 and 60 years old. You're asked to contact the St Johns County Sheriff's Office if you have any information.
