Attempted Child Abduction in Williamson County, Sketch of Suspect Released

The Hutto Police Department is actively investigating a reported attempted child abduction that recently occurred in the Riverwalk subdivision.

According to the report, two men in a white Ford Transit-style van approached a child. One of the men allegedly attempted to grab the child through the van’s open side door. The child was able to provide a detailed description of one of the suspects to a Texas Department of Public Safety Forensic Imaging Specialist, which resulted in a sketch.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male with a tan complexion, sleeve tattoos covering both arms, multiple piercings including an eyebrow piercing, three gold teeth (two top and one bottom), and dark-colored hair with streaks of white or blonde (possibly highlights).

Police are urging parents to discuss safety precautions with their children and emphasize the importance of being aware of their surroundings at all times.

The investigation is ongoing, and Hutto detectives are collaborating with neighboring law enforcement agencies to determine if there are any connections to similar incidents.
