CHICAGO — Police are urging people to be careful after a man tried to lure three girls in Old Town on Tuesday.
The girls, ages 11, 11 and 13, were in the 1300 block of North Wells Street about 12:30 p.m. when a man walked toward them, made "inappropriate remarks" and attempted to lure the girls toward him, police said.
The man is roughly 50 to 60 years old and about 6-feet tall, according to officers. He was described as black with a dark complexion and two missing front teeth. The man was last seen wearing a black hat, red jacket, dark gray sweatpants and white gym shoes.
Police encourage residents to report suspicious people and prevent children from walking or playing alone.
