3 girls report attempted Aurora kidnapping

September 16, 2010 (AURORA, Ill.) At around 4 p.m., three 11-year-old girls told police they were approached by a man driving a black SUV in the parking lot of a grocery store in the 400-block of North Farnsworth Avenue. They said the man opened the vehicle's door and told them to "come here." When they refused and began to walk away, the man apparently displayed a gun. At that point, the girls ran in to a nearby business and said the vehicle drive away southbound on Farnsworth.

The suspect is described as a thin- to medium-built black man, possibly in his 20s, with black, medium-length, braided hair; brown eyes; and dark skin. He was wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans and a gold watch. The SUV he was driving had silver trim along the bottom and dirt on the body near the tires.
