MESA, AZ -- There will be an extra presence outside of Desert Ridge Junior High School this week after two men tried to lure a student into their car on Monday.
In a letter sent home to parents, principal Jean Woods said the incident happened in the Augusta Ranch neighborhood, near Ellsworth and Baseline roads, Monday morning before school.
The two men were reportedly driving a silver Toyota RAV4.

According to the letter, the student immediately rode back home.
The school is within Mesa city limits but falls in the Gilbert Public School District.
Calls to the Gilbert School District spokesperson were not returned.
The letter did not include any description of the suspects.
