Police say reported abduction attempt was actually a prank

The apparent attempted abduction reported in a Greenhills neighborhood this week was simply an attempt at a prank, according to police. Earlier, police had warned residents to be on the lookout after an 11-year-old boy reported that two men in a car pulled up alongside him while he was riding his bike and told him to "get in the car." They pulled a U-turn and followed, but the boy fled to a neighbor's house. However, it was all just an attempt at a "prank" to post on YouTube, Greenhills Police Chief Neil Ferdelman said Wednesday. He said a 17-year-old and 18-year-old admitted to it.
