Deputies investigate suspicious vehicle in Skaneateles

The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office is seeking to identify and speak with a man who allegedly attempted to lure a 4 year old boy to his truck.
On Oct. 11, Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a residence in the 1600 block of Van Camp Road in the Town of Skaneateles for a suspicious vehicle investigation. Deputies investigating the incident report that at approximately 6:30 PM, a white male described as in his 30’s to 40’s, operating a dark colored 2012-2013 Chevrolet or GMC pick-up truck with a rusted bumper and a white sticker on the rear window, stopped in front of the 4 year olds house and engaged in conversation with the boy.
