The Black Diamond Police Department reported at 6:30 p.m. March 10 a child riding his bicycle home from the area of the city skate park was approached by a black male driving an older black unknown make or model pickup truck with a red stripe painted on the tailgate.

The police information regarding the incident indicated the male driver stopped in the roadway and told the child to “get in."

The child fled the area on his bike and reported the incident to adults.

The police department is actively investigating this incident.

Since the child attends the Black Diamond Elementary School, the Enumclaw School District was notified and a letter was sent home yesterday with all students regarding the incident.

Any information pertaining to this case should be relayed to the Black Diamond at 253-631-1012.
