The Swansea Police Department is actively searching for a man accused of trying to bait two 13-year-old girls into his vehicle earlier this week. This unsettling incident occurred along a bike path behind the Swansea Target store near Milford Road. As per police reports, a man in his 60s, sporting gray hair and of average build, propositioned the young girls asking if they wanted a ride.

Authorities are now turning to the community, urging anyone with information to come forward. In an effort to more quickly catch the suspect, they have released surveillance images capturing the man's car—a dark blue, four-door sedan that may be a Hyundai Sonata. These developments were first reported by NBC Boston.

After the approach from the questionable stranger, the girls reportedly ran off towards the safety of the Target store, a moment which was caught on store security cameras. This detail comes from a report by Turn to 10, which also stated the Swansea Police's call for public assistance.

Swansea Police have made it clear that this is a serious matter and need people to potentially actively look out for the man or vehicle described. They emphasize the importance of community engagement, understanding its vital role to quickly ensure no other child is put at risk. If anyone has information on the suspect's whereabouts or has seen the vehicle in question, they are advised to contact the Swansea Police Department immediately.
