The Manitowoc Police are investigating an incident that occurred on Saturday, July 6th. Just before 10 pm officers responded to the area between the 1200 and 1400 blocks of S. 10th St. for a report of a suspicious vehicle trying to pick up a 14-year-old female who was walking alone.
The female said she was approached by a vehicle described as a silver or metallic colored Mercedes Benz four-door car with extreme window tinting. The grille of the vehicle was described as black or darker in color with rounded corners. The rear taillights were described as rectangular and outside the trunk. The rims were described as thicker chrome spokes. There was also a chrome border around the rear license plate. The front plate was located below the black grille.
The driver of the Mercedes Benz offered to give the 14-year-old female a ride, which she declined. She kept walking and the vehicle performed a U-turn and again offered a ride. The driver became more persistent telling the female to “get in the car”. The female called a family relative and fled the area hiding behind a house.
The driver was described as a male Hispanic in his 20’s with a full face, a deep voice, short dark hair, and a goatee. A second person was seen in the car and was described as a male Hispanic wearing a gray t-shirt and sitting in the rear seat.
Anyone with information on the two suspects is encouraged to call the Manitowoc Police Department Shift Commander at 920-686-6551. You may also contact Crime Stoppers at 920-683-4466. You may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
