CAPE CORAL, Fla. Police are investigating a report of a suspicious man who was trying to lure two boys into his car near the 4300 block of Southwest 26 Avenue on Friday, Cape Coral Police said.
Two boys were playing basketball outside of their home when a man driving a white four door Sedan approached them, police said.
The man said he would reward the boys with a dollar coin if they could get the basketball in the hoop. The man drove away after the boys missed the hoop, police said.
A few minutes later he returned and told the boys to come near the car so they could have the coin. The older brother asked the man to throw the coin instead, police said.
“Let the little one come over and get it,” the man said.
The man drove away after the boys ran into their home afraid, police said.
The boys described the stranger as a white male with gray hair and pale skin. He is believed to be in his 40s or 50s.
Anyone with information is asked to the Cape Coral Police Department (239) 574-3223
