Grayslake police initially issued an alert after what they said was attempted kidnapping on Friday, Jan. 26.
Police originally said two male suspected tried to kidnap a victim, who was walking in the 700-block of Cherry Creek Drive in the Cherry Creek subdivision.
The allegation prompted Grayslake police to increase their patrols in the area.
In a statement on Wednesday, police said they found that allegation to be unfounded after an "extensive investigation."
"As this is a juvenile matter, no further information or statements will be released, and the case is now closed," Grayslake police said.
