San Diego police have released a sketch of a man they say posed as a police officer to lure children into his vehicle.

The man approached two children, ages 9 and 12, at Keiller Park at about 10 a.m. on March 11, telling them to come to his vehicle so he could take pictures of them, KGTV reported.

“Thankfully, the children were suspicious of the man’s behavior and did not follow him,” the department said. “Instead, they told an adult who called San Diego PD.”

The man is described as Hispanic in his late 20s, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, a thin to medium build with black hair.

He was wearing a blue T-shirt with white horizontal stripes, black pants, and white shoes.

Anyone with information should call the SDPD detective investigating it at 619-527-3552.
