(Cibolo) – Students and families on the county’s west end remain vigilant as Cibolo Police Investigators continue to look into a recent incident in which an 11-year-old female student says she was allegedly grabbed by an unknown suspect while on her way to school.
Cibolo Police officials say the incident was reported at 6:57 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 24 at Jordan Intermediate School.
Officials say the student reported that while riding her bicycle to school in the 200 block of Cordero Drive, an unknown black male approached her and grabbed the back of her hoodie and the handlebars of her bicycle. The student stated that she kicked the suspect to get away and managed to ride her bike to the back entrance of Jordan Intermediate. She immediately reported the incident to school administrators. The suspect was identified as a black male with a white beard, wearing a red shirt and black shorts.
Cibolo officers have initiated an investigation and are actively working to gather more information. Officers patrolled the area but were unable to locate anyone matching the suspect’s description. Unfortunately, officers were unable to locate any functioning cameras in the area.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Cibolo Police Department at 210-619-1274.
This incident came almost one week after an attempted kidnapper who allegedly tried to lure a 10-year-old boy into a vehicle in Schertz was found and arrested. The Schertz Police Department says the suspect, Ismael Ortega Quiroz, 33, of San Antonio was arrested two days after they received a report of a suspicious person in a white van who had attempted to lure the child into the vehicle in the 2500 block of Barr Way.
Following the description of the suspect and the vehicle, the white van was located a couple of days later at a construction site around the area of the initial report.
Meanwhile, the Cibolo Police Department encourages parents to discuss personal safety with their children utilizing the following tips.
