CPD: Man Tries To Grab 2 Girls

Coeur d’Alene police are asking for help identifying a man who confronted two children who were riding their bicycles near their home just after noon Sunday. Two girls, 8 and 6, were playing near the northwest corner of 12th Street and Young Avenue when a male described as “older” with a thin build approached them. The man pointed at the girls as he exited his vehicle and yelled, “Hey, you two,” Sgt. Brandon McCormick wrote in a news release. The man then said, “Let’s go” as he grabbed for the younger girl. He then chased them a short distance on Young Avenue. The girls made it to their home, where their parents called police/Spokesman-Review. More here.

Question: Are the streets of Coeur d'Alene no longer safe for children?
