Suspicious Circumstances, Possible Attempted Abduction 
On February 15, 2023, the Culver City Police Department received two reports of a suspicious subject in the Lindberg Park area. Between the hours of 6:30 pm and 7:20 pm two sets of 12-year-old juvenile boys reported being followed by a gray work van with tinted windows, multiple dents, no license plates driven by a male White subject.
In one incident, the van passed the juveniles and parked ahead of where they were walking. At this time, the driver immediately exited the vehicle and opened the rear doors of the van. The juveniles, concerned about the suspicious behavior, started walking in the opposite direction, away from the van. The driver of the van then re-entered the vehicle and again parked the van ahead of where the juveniles were walking. The juveniles ran home and told their parents who contacted CCPD for assistance.
Anyone with any information or questions regarding this incident, please contact the Culver City Police Department’s Public Information Officer, Sergeant Edward Baskaron at 310-253-6316 or the Watch Commander at 310-253-6202.
