MARYSVILLE — People in Marysville are being warned of a potential child luring suspect after an incident Saturday night.

A mother was watching three children, ages 6 to 9, ride bikes in a parking lot in the 7200 block of Grove Street when they were approached by a man driving a gold Dodge Durango SUV.

The man reportedly drove past the area several times before turning into the parking lot.

The mother ran toward the vehicle, which drove off, Marysville police reported in a press release.

The mother said that the driver at one point had one leg out of the vehicle and looked like he planned to get out in the parking lot.

Witnesses said the suspect is a man in his 50s with grey or white hair and a bald spot. The suspect also might have a grey or white goatee.
