THOMAS COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Northwest Kansas are investigating two reports of attempted abduction.

Thomas County Undersheriff Tom Nickols informed the school administration office of an attempted abduction after school on Thursday, according to a social media report from Thomas County Emergency Management.

A red, new. Tahoe-style vehicle with a black man wearing a blue shirt and flat bill cap attempted to pick up a middle school aged boy near the school, according to the report.

The student was not hurt, ran home and called a parent who reported the incident.

On Monday in Atwood, an older, green, Chevy, 4-door sedan, with possible Colorado tags and driven by a white, bald man attempted to pick up a 16-year-old girl, according to Nickols.

The school reminded parents to take time to visit with their children about “stranger danger.”
