BRONX - Cops are looking for a creep who tried to lure a teenage girl into his box truck near two daycare centers in Throggs Neck. Police released surveillance video of the suspected truck.




At around 5:45 pm on February 1, a 14-year-old girl was walking in the vicinity of Lawton Ave and Milton Place when a large white box truck pulled up. A man got out and approached the girl. According to police the man began making comments and gestures at the girl and attempted to lure her into his truck. 


The teen ran away and the truck drove off. 


After police were notified, officers pulled video from a house on the block which captured an image of the truck but not the driver who is suspected of trying to lure the girl. 





The box truck is white with unknown lettering on the driver’s side door.
