Man tried to lure students from Atl. charter school

By Daphne Young

A middle school is on alert after a man reportedly tried to lure students from the campus on Thursday. 

Administrators at the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School say a man approached students while they were playing in the backyard area of the school.

Letters have since been sent home to parents.

Witnesses say the man tried to get them to hop the fence and go with him. But, students alerted a staff member who scared the man off.

Now police are searching for a suspect described as a white male, with short dark hair, who was driving a white Chevy Malibu.  Anyone with information is asked to call police.
