FORT HOOD, Texas -- Military patrols responded at 6:12 p.m., Dec. 14, to Montague Village, a housing area on West Fort Hood, for an attempted child abduction.
A nine-year-old boy reported that an unknown male approached him in a vehicle and told the boy "your mother told me to pick you up." The suspect is a white male with medium-length hair, black and grayish goatee and was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt and driving a four-door sedan.
Military patrols conducted a search of the area with negative results. Army Criminal Investigation Division Special Agents and military police are looking into the incident and are following up on leads provided by area residents. Everyone is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Fort Hood Military Police at 287-4001 or call 911.
“Fort Hood is committed to the safety of our children and Families,” said III Corps Deputy Commanding General-Canadian Brig. Gen. Peter Atkinson. “We have an active, ongoing campaign that teaches both parents and children how to avoid dangerous situations and how to react if confronted. This young man did exactly as he was instructed by running away from the suspect and telling his parents.”
Fort Hood crime prevention officials will post these and other tips for child safety and what to do if a stranger approaches them on the Fort Hood Home Page at www.hood.army.mil and in an article in this week’s Fort Hood Sentinel, Dec. 16.
