NASHUA, N.H. — Police say a 12-year-old boy in southern New Hampshire who feared he would get in trouble for getting home late fabricated a story that someone tried to kidnap him.
Police say the Nashua boy will not face criminal charges after telling police a man grabbed his wrist on May 22 and tried to take him to an unknown location. He described the man as being in his mid-to-late 30s and wearing sunglasses, ripped jeans and a gray sweatshirt with a hood over his head.
He said he broke free and flagged down a passer-by.
Police investigated the area, asked the public for assistance and brought in detectives from the department’s special investigations division. Investigators worked several days on the case, canvassing the area, interviewing residents and reviewing video surveillance cameras.
