LANCASTER – Authorities are seeking the public’s help to find two men who tried to kidnap a 14-year-old girl in the east Lancaster area earlier this month.
The crime occurred about 5:30 p.m. May 8 at the corner of 27th Street East and Avenue J, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
The would-be kidnappers were in a late 1990s- to early 2000s black Honda four-door sedan with tinted windows. The first digit of the license plate was “5.”
“The victim stated that the driver had a heavy Hispanic accent,” the sheriff’s news release states. “The victim has also observed [the passenger] at the Tierra Bonita Park on one occasion, three weeks prior to this incident.”
The driver was described as Hispanic, 30-35 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds, with a bald head and a silver stud earring in his left ear.
The passenger was also described as Hispanic and about 30-35, with brown spiked hair, and he also had a silver stud earring in his left ear.
“We ask that if you see or know of anyone matching this description, please take photographs,” sheriff’s officials said in the news release.
“While this has been an isolated incident, we do ask (parents) to use caution, especially if you live in the area,” the news release states. “As always, this is a great time to remind your children about stranger danger and encourage them to walk home from school in groups of friends.”
Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call Lancaster Sheriff’s Station detectives at 661-948-8466 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. View the sheriff’s Special Bulletin here.

Sounds a little similar to this case that happened last night in Bako: [Bakersfield, CA.] Local teen says she thought she was going to be abducted in a NW Bakersfield shopping center.
Snippet>> “They had their windows down and they said ‘Get her, get her, get her. Get out! Get her!,”
The seventeen year old said the driver was a *Hispanic male in his 30’s* and the passenger was a Hispanic *female* in her 30’s. They were seen in a *white* 4-door sedan.
The teenage girl is still shaken up after she said she thought she was going to be kidnapped in northwest Bakersfield Sunday…
As for this Lancaster attempted kidnapping case, it appears both would be kidnappers were males, and drove a black Honda four-door sedan. …”The driver was described as Hispanic, 30-35 years old. The passenger was also described as Hispanic and about 30-35″…the car was described as a black Honda four-door sedan with tinted windows.
In the Bako case…one of the perps was a female and the car was white.
I still wouldn’t rule out that either one of the males in the Lancaster case might possibly be the perp/predator cruising around in Bakersfield looking for another teen victim…As for the different color car, that could easily belong to the depraved female he was with, or either one of the Lnc. perp’s.
Hell, the creeps might even live in Bako, or figured the local heat might be on them and it’s best to prowl another area.
I hope these disgusting predators are caught…they also might be looking for girls to sell for human trafficking purposes…
