Investigators released on Wednesday afternoon a description of a person they want to talk to and the vehicle they were driving.
Police said the attempted child luring occurred on Friday, March 18 between 2:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. in the 100 block of South Queen Anne Drive. The incident happened not far from Pennsbury High School.
The man reportedly asked a female student if she wanted a ride, but he left after a group of teen boys told him to get out of there, police said.

“We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the students who intervened and the student involved for telling the high school administration what happened,” Pennsbury officials said in a letter following the incident.
The man police want to talk to is a heavy-set white man who is approximately 60 years old. He was wearing an olive-color, military-style hat, had gray slicked-back hair, and had a white goatee.
