Search for Suspect Continues After Attempted Abduction

Posted: Updated:

Troopers with state police said Thursday the search for a suspect continues after an attempted abduction in Greenbrier County.

It happened in Lewisburg on April 7, when troopers say a white male with a dark complexion drove into the driveway of a residence on Vago Road.

Troopers said the man repeatedly tried to coax the boy, 8, into his vehicle, who immediately went inside and reported the incident to his parents.

Although state police have received numerous tips and possible sightings since the incident, there has not been enough concrete evident to lead authorities to a suspect.  

"We're still pursuing leads. We still have some active leads. But at this point we have no suspect," said Trooper W.B. Simmons.

Simmons is asking anyone with information to contact state police.
