Fayetteville, NC — Detectives with the Fayetteville Police Department Youth Services Unit are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect from a reported attempted abduction that occurred on August 1, 2018 along the 6000 block of Louise Street. A composite sketch has been created of the suspect that is described as a White Male, 40-50 years of age, 5’6-5’9 in height, dark hair, white beard, wearing no clothing.
