CdA Police: No Child Abducted Today

Coeur d'Alene police suspect that no child was abducted from Coeur d'Alene Place this morning. In a news release police Sgt. Christie Wood reports: "Police officers contacted residents that live in the neighborhood of where the bike was located. Two different neighbors reported seeing the bike lying on a lawn at 7:30am this morning. The female that called police saw the child riding the bike at 8:15am. The child put the bike down when the van approached and got into the vehicle. Neighbors said it is possible the bike has been in their neighborhood since yesterday. With no missing children reported it appears the child got into the van willingly and did not take the bike because it possibly does not belong to him. This report appears to be unfounded. Police will continue to monitor all tips."
