Police in search of male who attempted to abduct a 15-year-old near Somonauk


SOMONAUK – Authorities are searching for a male suspect allegedly involved in an attempted child abduction. According to the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office, on Monday just after 8 p.m. they received a report of an attempted child abduction on Hoxsey Road (E 2351st Rd) just south of the Village of Somonauk limits.
It was reported that a 15 year old male was walking along Hoxsey Rd. when a light blue pickup truck, four door, tinted windows with a topper on the bed, pulled over. A male, 30-40 years of age, approximately 6 foot tall, wearing blue jeans exited the truck and allegedly confronted the 15 year old to “come here”. The 15 year old reportedly told the male he was not to talk to strangers and turned around and began walking the other way. The male allegedly ran after the 15 year old for approximately 100 yards and then gave up. The 15 year old was able to reach a friend’s house safely in town.
LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office is seeking assistance from the Somonauk Police Department and the Illinois State Police in finding the suspect and his vehicle.
