CHEHALIS – Chehalis police are looking for a blond-haired young man with a silver Ford passenger car after an odd incident at the Twin City Town Center last night.
An individual called 911 about 10:50 p.m. to say he and his 13-year-old grandson were cleaning up the parking lot and the driver pulled up near the young teen.
“He asked the boy where the nearest gas station was, the boy pointed across the parking lot and he told the boy, ‘get in my car’,” Chehalis Police Department spokesperson Linda Bailey said. “The boy replied no and the car drove off.”
A female in the passenger seat reportedly said nothing.
Officers checked the area around the 1400 block of Northwest Louisiana Avenue and didn’t locate the car, Bailey said. They broadcast the information to other police departments, she said.
The driver was described as about 20 years old, with a handlebar type mustache, that curled up on its ends, Bailey said.
“We’re looking into the availability of surveillance video and researching possible partial (license) plates,” Bailey said.
