FORT MOHAVE, AZ - The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's help in locating a man who attempted to lure a juvenile into his vehicle in Fort Mohave.

Authorities said on Monday at about 4 p.m., a man asked a girl if she needed a ride. When the girl did not get into his vehicle, the man yelled at her to get in the car and the girl ran home to contact the authorities.

The suspect is described as a white male that appears to be about 40 to 50 years old with short white hair and a white handle-bar mustache.

Officials said the man was driving an older-looking, white, four-door car with black lines around the windows and door frames.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Mohave County Sheriff's Office at 928-753-0753.
