West Richland Police are asking people to be on the lookout for three suspects in a small, white car who reportedly offered sex and drugs to three boys.
The boys, ages 12 to 14, were walking together about 6:45 p.m. Saturday near Holly Way and Rose Street in West Richland, said police Sgt. Bill Leach.
The four-door car drove close to the boys and the suspects tried to lure them closer with their offer. Then the car stopped next to the boys on the street and the suspects repeated their offer and opened the passenger doors, Leach said.
The suspects are described as being a male and two females, ages about 17 to 19.
The boys immediately reported the incident to one of their parents who called police.
Officers have increased patrols in the area and plan to notify school officials, Leach said.
