UPDATE: Toms River police have located the driver and SUV being sought in the two reported child luring attempts. They determined “there was no criminal intent to lure or cause any harm to the children,” police said in an update to the initial Facebook alert. “The person of interest has been identified and interviewed along with members of his family.”

Toms River police are investing two reported child luring attempts on Saturday afternoon involving a man in an SUV who tried to get kids into his vehicle, authorities said.

The SUV was captured on surveillance and police released a photo of the vehicle along with a description of the man.

The first incident occurred at Chippewa Road and Apache Drive around 4:45 p.m. and the second incident was reported nearby in the area of Shawnee Drive, police said. In both cases, the children fled and notified their parents, who called police.

The man is described as white, heavy set, and bald with a goatee, police said. He was wearing a light gray or white shirt and driving a light gray or silver, older model SUV, police said.

Toms River police have increased patrols in the area and are seeking tips from the public.
