Police Investigate Abductions in Central Texas

The Hutto Police Department is investigating a recent attempted child abduction involving two men in a white Ford Transit-style van who approached a child in the Riverwalk subdivision. One suspect, described as a Hispanic man with a tan complexion, tattoos, multiple piercings, and distinctive gold teeth, attempted to grab the child but was unsuccessful. This incident is part of a series of similar reports in the Central Texas area, including recent cases in Leander and Round Rock, where a man in a light-colored vehicle attempted to abduct children. Authorities are urging parents to discuss safety precautions with their children and to report any suspicious activity. Detectives are collaborating with nearby jurisdictions to identify potential connections between these incidents. The public is encouraged to contact Hutto police with any information related to these cases.
