16951278

Janesville police are turning to the public for information after a man apparently tried to lure a teenage Janesville girl into his vehicle Thursday afternoon, and chased her on foot after she declined to get in.  Police say the 13-year-old was walking in the 1000 block of North Pontiac Drive just after 4:00 o'clock when a man pulled up alongside her in a late-model, white two-door vehicle and offered her a ride.  The girl refused and kept walking, and the man apparently got out of the vehicle and began to follow her on foot. Police say the girl described him as being in his 30s or 40s, about 5½ feet tall and “skinny,” with black hair and a beard.
