Cops look to see if luring incidents connected

NEW JERSEY It's one of the creepiest crimes anyone can committ. Attempting to lure a child into a vehicle using a puppy as the enticement.

Parents are on edge over this weekend's incident which happened near Kimberbly Road in the Colonia section of Woodbridge.

A similar incident took place near one intersection in Edison last week when a man in a dark blue pick up truck offered a 9 year old girl some candy, but cops at this point are not connecting the crimes.

One mother found out about the Woodbridge luring case through the towns emergency call system, and was shocked that her five-year-old needed a reminder about stanger danger.
