Police continue to investigate report of attempted child abduction

Grafton police continue to investigate a report that a 7-year-old boy was asked by a man to come with him in exchange for candy while in a bathroom at Costco on Friday, April 7.

The investigation, however, is complicated by the fact the boy said he heard but never saw the man and by a 45-minute delay in reporting the alleged incident to authorities, according to Grafton police.

“Because of the time delay and the lack of a description of the suspect, it made the on-scene investigation more complex,” Sgt. Sean Fuerstenberg said.
