Police: Man tries to kidnap child playing in Braselton yard
A man tried to kidnap a child playing in his front yard last week, according to Braselton police.
The child was playing with three other children in the front yard of a Mossy Oak Landing residence in the Mulberry Park subdivision.
A man walking through the neighborhood tried to grab the arm of the child, who pulled away and ran inside the house. The man first walked past the children and then returned to the yard before trying to grab the child. The other children confirmed the story with police.
The man was described as being in his 30s or 40s with dark skin, possibly Hispanic, with a thin mustache and goatee. The man was wearing a grey hat, a white shirt with some unknown writing and grey jogging pants.
Braselton police searched the area, but didn’t find the suspect.
