Two men caught trying to abduct girls from Intermediate School in Burley.

 

Cassia County Sheriff Detective Kevin Horak says it all went down yesterday.  The girls were at White Pine Intermediate School and they used the oldest trick in the book.  Candy!  At that point 40 year old Melvin Simpson and 50 year old Vadian Dougal grabbed one of the three girls by the arm and attempted to abduct her.  She kicked her way free and took off.

 

After reporting the incident to teachers at the school, the sheriff's office was notified and all children were under heavy supervision.  Two other Burley Elementary Schools were notified and fortunately, our fine officers were able to bring in the two suspects within hours.

 

This is a good reminder to teach us to educate our kids on what to do and how to do it.  Everyone did their part and these three little girls are safe with their families.  Thumbs up to the staff at White Pine Intermediate School and the Cassia County Sheriff Department.
