The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office has found an attempted abduction report on Tuesday to be false.
On Tuesday, deputies were dispatched at 7:30 p.m. to the 1100 block of Oriana Road in York County after residents filed a report of an attempted child abduction.
Reports taken from the children involved, a 7-year-old and 9-year-old, described a man approaching them in a field and attempting to grab the younger child. The children described the suspects to be a white man with curly blonde hair and a white woman with dark hair.
However, there were conflicting details about the suspects’ vehicle from the children and residents of the community.

In a Facebook post Thursday afternoon, the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said investigators determined the event was not a possible abduction and there was just a truck in the area delivering furniture from a local store.
The children had been playing in and around the delivery truck and one of the drivers picked up the child to remove him from inside the truck.
According to the Facebook post, residents took to social media to claim that two or three similar incidents had occurred in York County this year.
The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said that’s false information and there have not been any similar events in the county this year.
