Police are on the lookout for a man who allegedly attempted to lure two Main Line children into his van.

The incident occurred last week when two children in Tredyffrin Township were approached by a man while they were playing on a residential lawn in the late afternoon of March 26, police announced today.

The man, who is described as between 40 and 50 years of age, having a tan complexion, dark hair and light colored eyes, called to one of the children and asked him to get into the minivan he was driving. He spoke with an accent the children told police.

The van was possibly a light blue Honda Odyssey with a white license plate that had red letters. Sun curtains were mounted on the side windows of the minivan, police said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact contact Detective James Konieczny at (610) 408-3647 or jkonieczny@tredyffrin.org.

Contact staff writer Mari A. Schaefer at 610-313-8111, mschaefer@phillynews.com or @MariSchaefer on Twitter.

    His second greatest offense is being a cliche. Please don't tell me he was looking for his lost puppy.

    Is this like the lady that was pointing a rifle at those kids yesterday? Half these reports are bogus...kids looking for attention.

    MilesLong1 - I think so too. Those children are slick little things anymore and know how to ruin an adult's life because they think they'll end up getting some money. That only happens when they lie about a clergyman or school teacher. I don't think they'd get much but a few ice cream bars off this one.

    By the way...has this outlet covered the 20 year old La Salle student thrown into a back of a van and gang raped? It's all over the NY papers but correct me if I'm wrong...nothing here?
