Ocoee police are searching for the man who tried to kidnap an 11-year-old boy in Orange County.
Around 2:45 p.m. Monday, police said the student from Citrus Elementary School was in front of the West Oaks Library, 1821 E. Silver Star Rd., when a man asked if the child wanted a ride.
After the boy refused the ride, police said the man told him to get in the car because he had a present.
Instead, the boy kept walking and went to an adult he recognized.
Police said the suspect then returned to his vehicle and fled east on Silver Star Road from Lake Johio Road.
The boy said he was in his 50s, tall, balding and wearing a black shirt with dark jeans. He was driving a black, beat up four-door sedan, which had a rounded front and rear, similar to a Volkswagen Beetle.
Police said the boy also noted the car had unmatched rims, a broken left headlight cover and a rusted grill.
If you have any information, call Detective Loretta Ganoe at (407) 905-3161.
