New sketch released of man who tried to lure girls into car

BOXFORD, Mass. — Boxford police have released a new sketch of a man they say tried to lure two young girls into his vehicle.

Police say Saturday afternoon, a man drove up to two 11-year-old girls on Bare Hill Road, made sexual comments and tried to get the girls into his car. The man was said to have been driving a newer gray or silver sedan.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 30s or 40s with short brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black button-up shirt and gray pants when he approached the girls.

Topsfield police are also investigating a similar report. They are not sure if it is the same suspect. While the incidents happened just a couple of miles away from each other, police say the suspect in Topsfield did not make any sexual comments and was reportedly driving a pickup truck, not a sedan.

Boxford police released a sketch of the suspect earlier this week, but have since released an updated sketch, they say, through additional interviews.

If you recognize the man seen in the sketch or have additional information, call the Boxford Police Department at 978-887-8135.
