Another abduction attempt in Buffalo

WBFO News File Photo

There's been another attempted abduction in Buffalo.  Buffalo Police say a man and woman suspected of trying to lure teenagers into a car over the last couple of weeks may now have changed vehicles. 

Police reportedly say a couple fitting the same description as previous reports used a silver-colored minivan with tinted windows and rust around the wheels to try to lure two teenage boys into their van about noon Monday at Genesee and Bailey.  The boys apparently ran to a nearby store.

The incident marks at least the fifth such incident in the last few weeks, previously the couple drove a light colored four-door Lexus.     

The suspects are described as a black male between 20 and 25 years old, about 5-feet-10 and 250 pounds and a black female, about 5-feet-6 with a medium build.
