Miami Gardens police have asked for the public’s help in identifying three men who they say attempted to kidnap a boy in June.
Police have released sketches of two of the men they are looking for. They, along with a third man, attempted to kidnap the boy on June 8, around 8:30 p.m., in the area of 13 Avenue and NW 208 Street, according to investigators.
The boy told investigators that he was running down his block when the three men called to him from across the street and said they were going to kidnap him, according to police. The boy said one of the men pulled out a zip tie and attempted to bind his hands, police said.
Investigators said the boy fought back, punching one of the men, and was able to get away unharmed.
The two men in the sketches appear to be around 18 years old, according to police. They said the third man was around 30 years old.
