Police are searching for a woman who reportedly tried to lure a child
into her car in Palos Verdes Estates, and they are also looking for a
good Samaritan who stepped in to help the child.

According to a news release issued by the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department, a 10-year-old boy was walking home from Luanda Bay
Elementary School around 3:45 p.m. Friday when he was approached by a
female driver who twice offered him a ride and said she would text his
mother.

The interaction took place in the 2400 block of Via Pacheco,
approximately half a mile from the elementary school campus, and the boy
told authorities that the woman who spoke to him was the sole occupant
of the vehicle.

“The child refused [to enter the woman’s vehicle], and a good Samaritan
who was walking his dog nearby asked if [the boy] knew the driver…the
child told the good Samaritan that he did not,” the Palos Verdes Estates
Police Department release reads. “The unidentified good Samaritan told
the child to go home as he talked to the driver. The child was able to
run home safely and report the incident to his parents.”

Upon receiving the call, officers immediately rushed to the scene;
however, they could not locate the female motorist nor the man who
helped the boy. Detectives are seeking information on both of their
identities and released the following descriptions:

Female motorist: Black female, approximately 30 to 50 years old, medium
build, brown hair

Female vehicle: Light blue, newer model SUV similar to a Kia EV9

Good Samaritan: White male, approximately 70 years old, wearing a
baseball cap and black sunglasses, walking a white lab

Based on information provided and descriptions obtained, PVEPD contacted
the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District – of which Luanda Bay Elementary is a part of – to assist in their investigation, and
neighboring law enforcement jurisdictions have also been alerted to the incident. Notifications to parents will be made by the district, police
added.

No further details surrounding the active investigation were immediately released.

Anyone who has any information surrounding the incident, including the identities of the suspect and good Samaritan, is asked to contact Palos
Verdes Estates Police Department Detective Neil Sisson by calling
310-378-4211 or emailing nsission@pvestates.org.
