Arvada police have released a composite sketch of a man who attempted to lure children into his car with candy.

There were two separate incidents reported, one Sunday and another Wednesday, police said.

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5-feet-9, thin, with sandy or brown hair and in his late teens to late 30s. The second victim described the suspect as not having facial hair, but the first victim described him as having a thin beard and mustache, police said.

The suspect may have changed his appearance between incidents, police said.

His car was described as a royal blue four-door sedan.

The car may have dents on the passenger side rear door and may have half of the rear wheels covered with a “skirt” similar to those seen on a 1996 Cadillac DeVille, police said.

Children as well as parents should notify the police and school if they see anything suspicious around the school or neighborhood.

Parents should stress to their child the importance of going straight to school in the morning and directly home immediately after dismissal or leaving the bus stop.
