CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police are searching for a man who they say tried to lure a teenager into his car on the Northwest Side on Saturday.

The 15-year-old girl was walking in the 6100-block of West Berwyn Ave. at about 4:10 p.m. when a man in a white vehicle pulled to the curb and asked her if she needed a ride. The girl told him no and went directly home and alerted her father who called police. The man drove away down Berwyn Avenue and turned in an unknown direction.
