Police in Lacey are asking for the public’s help tracking down the owner of a car after a boy reported he was approached by a woman he didn’t know on his way home from school last week.

Police say it happened about 4 p.m. Friday. The 12-year-old boy was walking home from school when a woman offered to give him a ride home. The woman said she was his neighbor, but the boy said he didn’t recognize her or her car.

He ran back to school and told an adult what happened. Police did not say where this happened.

The boy described her as a 40-year-old white woman with curly blond hair. He said her car was a silver four-door passenger car.

Police found video of the vehicle and believe it is similar to a late model Chevrolet Sonic. The actual vehicle is shown in the photo.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lacey police at 360-459-4333 or Thurston County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
