Attempted abduction in Winona County

Updated:

WINONA, Minn. (FOX 47) -- Winona County sheriff's deputies are on the lookout for two men wanted in an attempted abduction of a young boy Thursday morning in the town of Homer.

An eleven-year-old boy walking to the bus stop says the two men in a red vehicle, probably a pickup truck, pulled up and the man on the passenger side rolled down the window and ordered him to "get in."

Chief Deputy  Ron Ganrude says he's described as a white man, in his 30s, with brown hair and possibly a goatee.

The boy ran to a neighbor's house for help, and the neighbor called 911.

Deputies swarmed over the small town looking for the suspect vehicle, but so far have come up empty.

If you have a tip, please call the Winona County Sheriff's Office.
