Long Beach police are investigating a possible attempted kidnapping after a 15-year-old said a man tried to grab him next to the trunk of a car, according to authorities. Police said this happened around 6:30 p.m. on Linden Avenue near Anaheim Street. That's where the boy was walking when a man and a woman asked him for help, Sgt. Vincent Otto said. "The juvenile approached the trunk of the suspect's vehicle where the male adult opened his arms like he was going to hug him," Otto said. At this point, the boy ran him and told his mother what happened, Otto said. Officers are still investigating and have canvassed the area looking for security camera video of what happened, police said.
