NYPD: 2 Men in Williamsburg Tried to Lure Young Girl, Boy Into Van


nypdPolice are looking for two men they say tried to lure a young boy and girl into a van in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

The incidents happened just blocks apart in Williamsburg, according to police.

The first took place at the corner of Hewes St. and Williamsburg East around 6:15 pm.

Sources said the two men promised the boy candy in Yiddish, speaking in a Russian accent.

Police said the 12-year-old boy kept on walking.

A few hours later, the two men attempted the same ploy on a 10-year-old girl on Williamsburg East and Lee Ave., according to police, less than a quarter-mile from the first incident. She also kept walking.

Police describe the men as clean-shaven, wearing flat caps, and driving a light-colored minivan.
