The Fountain Police Department is investigating two possible attempts to abduct children.

Fountain Police say both happened on Thursday, one around 3:45 PM and the other happened around 7:00 PM.

The first happened in the 7700 block of Fountain Mesa Road when a child was walking home from school, according to police. The child told police a black man in a grey pick up truck stopped and told the child to get into the truck. The child ran away.

The second incident happened near Fountain Middle School as a child was walking home from school. Police say, in this case, the child reported being followed by an older white pick up truck. When the child got out a cell phone to make a call the truck drove away.
