Press Release - 5/05/2026

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office would like to make the public aware of two recent reports involving suspicious interactions with children. At this time, there is no indication of any attempted abduction, however we believe it is important for families and the community to remain aware and vigilant.

The first incident was reported on April 22 in Franklin Grove. According to the report, a white male driving either a silver van or white pickup truck approached children and asked if they wanted to make extra money. Deputies checked the area but were unable to locate anyone matching the description.

The second incident reportedly occurred on April 30 and was reported to the Amboy Police Department on May 1. In that incident, a white male with a beard driving a white van allegedly attempted to get children to approach his vehicle.

These incidents remain under investigation. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office encourages parents to speak with their children about personal safety, avoiding contact with unknown individuals, and reporting suspicious behavior to a trusted adult immediately.

We also ask residents to remain observant and report suspicious activity to law enforcement as soon as possible. Anyone with information related to either incident is encouraged to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office or their local law enforcement agency.
