Police investigating possible attempted kidnapping


Mooresville police are investigating what appears to be an attempted kidnapping in a residential neighborhood.

According to a neighbor's post on Facebook, a girl – who police say is 15 years old – was “grabbed” at the front entrance to Glynwater subdivision, across from Mooresville Municipal Golf Course, yesterday afternoon. Neighbors say the girl is okay, but the man who tried to kidnap her was not caught.

The Facebook post on the “Glynwater residents” group says the man “is an older man driving a red van with wood paneling with out-of-state plates” and that “police say he has been trolling (Glynwater) neighborhood and adjacent ones.”

Mooresville Police Maj. Ron Chilton confirms the police department is investigating, but he says he cannot confirm the remainder of the information in the posting.

He also says this apparent attempted kidnapping is not connected to last month's attempted child abduction at Mooresville's Walmart.
