A terrifying moment unfolded Sunday evening when a maroon SUV allegedly attempted to lure children near the Greenup Fairgrounds.
According to Greenup Police, a call came into dispatch at 7:45 p.m. on June 1, 2025, reporting an attempted child abduction in the 1700 block of East Main Street. A mother told officers that a maroon Chevy SUV, possibly an Equinox with dark tinted windows, pulled up near her children. A man inside reportedly yelled at one of the kids to “get in the vehicle.”
The mother immediately approached the vehicle — and that’s when it sped off.
Police arrived quickly, but were unable to locate the vehicle. The case remains under active investigation, and Greenup Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
