Police look for man in attempted abduction

Simsbury, Conn. (WTNH) - Police are looking for a man involved in the attempted abduction of two 12-year-old girls.

The girls were walking in the area of Washburn Drive in Simsbury when they say a tan or gray Jeep Grand Cherokee  drove by them.

The car's driver yelled out the window for the pair to get into his car, the girls told police.

The girls ran off and the car drove away.
