Police in Darby Township, Delaware County have located the vehicle and identified three suspects in an attempted child abduction from Tuesday, 9/15. It happened around 3:45 p.m. near Tribbett Avenue and Hermesprota Drive at Hermesprota Park. The vehicle was described as a white GMC Savana van with black spray paint on the back and red spray paint on the passenger side. The driver got out of the vehicle and approached an 8-year-old girl. He reportedly told the passenger, "Let's grab her." The girl was able to run away. "We are deeply appreciative of the cooperative and collaborative effort of the citizens we serve. This is an ongoing investigation and we will keep you as apprised as we can without hindering it," police said. The three suspects were questions and released. No charges have been filed. If you have any information, contact Criminal Investigator Sean Gallagher at 610-583-3245.
