Law Enforcement Still Searching for White Van Connected to Attempted Abduction of a 12-Year-Old
Hoopa Tribal Police and Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies are still searching for a white van with a black bra and a yellow thumbs up sign in a blue circle on the driver’s side rear window in the Hoopa area. The van is associated with the attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl near Hwy 96.
Allegedly, on Sunday, an older man with a long gray braid and a full beard chased the young girl who fled back to her family.
According to Lt. Dennis Young of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, there have been several sightings since Sunday. “The van has been seen by residents,” he said. “But no one has been able to get a plate yet.” He asks that anyone who sees the van attempt to get a license plate number as that will enable law enforcement to track the owner down.
Young said that both Tribal Police and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office are being vigilant in the area. “We’re going around patrolling, trying to see the van.”
If you have any information, please contact either the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 625-4202 or the Hoopa Tribal Police at (530) 625-4202.

Given the workings of our legal system, I’d say we are all better off if the locals there handled this one in house!
Can you clarify your comment.

That’s a pretty clear statement.
I saw a van like this heading south in Eureka yesterday. But I did not see the driver so no idea if it was the right one.
I do hope they’ve extended their search, with and without the van’s bra & with and without a bearded man driving.
This is creepy, I remember hearing about white vans in major cities kidnapping or attempting to kidnap kids 🤔
