THE Guam Police Department’s Juvenile Investigation Section is looking for a man who attempted to kidnap a 10-year-old girl student at Astumbo Elementary School yesterday.
The man has been described to be of slim build and with a balding head. He was last seen wearing a long-sleeved red shirt, jeans and slippers and driving a rusty white Nissan Sentra.
“The girl reported the incident at 11:15 a.m. but the incident took place around 10 a.m. The girl was not harmed. It took place on school grounds,” GPD public affairs officer Allan Guzman said.
Guam Public School System officials are looking into how the suspect got onto the school grounds without anyone knowing, and tried to abduct one of their students.
According to Guam Education Policy Board’s policy number 630, “Any person on school property whose presence has not been authorized by the school office is illegally on campus. Unauthorized school visitors shall be requested by any school employee to obtain a visitor authorization through the principal’s office or to leave the school grounds.”
GPSS spokesperson Gerry Cruz asked parents/guardians to pick up their child at school yesterday or escort them home, especially those at the elementary level. Cruz could not tell Variety if there was a lack of school aides on the Dededo campus.
Anyone with any information on this case is asked to call GPD at 472-8911 or Guam Crime Stoppers at 477-HELP(4357). Crime Stoppers does not use caller ID and you do not have to leave your name. .
