YARMOUTH, Maine
Update
The Yarmouth Police Department updated its Facebook post Friday to say they have been in contact with the adult involved in the incident and that it was not an attempt to lure a child into a vehicle for nefarious reasons. This was NOT an attempt to lure a child into a vehicle for nefarious reasons, and appears to be a simple misunderstanding. An adult stopped to ask the child (a friend of his grandson - who was also in the car) if he wanted a ride due to inclement weather. The child did not see his friend in the car at the time. No other children were approached.
