CADILLAC -- The Cadillac Police Department is asking the community to be on alert as it continues to follow up on leads involving two attempted abductions.

Investigators say the crimes last Monday involved a 10-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy.  One attempted abduction happened near the intersection of Linden Street and Aldrich Street just before school. The other took place on Haynes Street near AJ's Pizza just after school.

Police say each child was walking alone at the time.  The victims say a man and a woman asked them to get into the van they were driving. Both children ran away from the area.

Investigators say at this time, about nine leads have been called into the department.  None of the community tips developed into a suspect arrest, but officials are asking residents to call in any information they may have.

The Cadillac Police Department and the Cadillac Area Public Schools are working together to keep children in the community safe.

There have been no other reports of this nature in the Cadillac area since the original reports a week ago.

The victims described the vehicle as a reddish, brown, box-van or utility van with considerable rust. 

The suspects are described as a white man, mid 30's with a moustache and medium build.  The other was a white woman in her early 20's with long black hair.  The woman also had tattoos and piercings.

Anyone who was in the area and may have information is asked to call the Cadillac Police Department at 231-775-3491.
