On Thursday, January 28, 2010, at about 8:45 a.m., deputies from the Jurupa Valley Station responded to a report of an attempted kidnapping involving a 12-year-old female middle school student.
The investigation revealed that the victim was walking alone through a commercial parking lot in the 5700 block of Mission Boulevard, Rubidoux, on her way to a local middle school. The suspect drove up to the victim, exited his vehicle, and ordered the victim to get into his vehicle.

The suspect fled the location in an unknown direction of travel.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as an older model white, full-sized pickup truck, unknown make or model. The truck had multiple dents and scratches on the exterior, and a gray metal toolbox installed in the bed of the truck behind the cab.
