Middleborough police probe attempted child abduction

By Caitlin Castello, Globe Correspondent

Middleborough police are looking for two men who attempted to abduct two children Thursday evening.

Two elementary school girls were approached by two men in a black truck with tinted windows near Elm and Courtland Streets, police said in a statement.

When the men asked the girls to go with them, the children ran to a nearby house and the truck drove away, police said.

The children described the driver as having a long beard, gray hair, and a silver-capped tooth, with a ring on his right middle finger that looked like an eagle.

The truck was described as a black extended-cab truck, with key scratches on the driver’s side, tinted windows, and two white bumper stickers on the rear bumper.
