ROCHESTER -- Authorities are warning parents about three different child luring attempts in 24 hours in the Rochester School District.
According to the Thurston County Sheriff's Department, the first case happened Wednesday morning when a woman driving a black SUV reportedly drove up to a bus stop and asked a 13-year-old boy if he needed a ride to school. He said the bus had not come yet and another student showed up at the bus stop. Then the bus showed up and the woman drove off, officials said.
A second case was reported Wednesday afternoon when a scruffy looking man drove up and asked a boy if he'd missed the bus, then drove off.
Officials received a third report Thursday morning when a woman drove up a driveway and asked a boy if he had missed the bus. He told her no and the woman left, authorities said.
Investigators are not sure if the cases are related because the three descriptions were all different, but they did happen in the same area.
