A 32-year-old Bay Point man was arrested last week for allegedly attempting to lure a 14-year-old child into his car on July 7.
Raul Munoz was identified as the suspect through surveillance video and an extensive investigation.
Ceres Police were notified at approximately 8 p.m. that a man driving a van in the area of Central and Caswell avenues had an attempt to get the juvenile in his vehicle. The incident was captured on surveillance video. Police identified the vehicle as a 1999 blue Dodge Caravan and Munoz as the suspect. They obtained an arrest warrant signed by a Stanislaus County judge and went to his home to make an arrest.
“At this time our detectives believe this is an isolated incident,” a Ceres Police Department press release stated. “We would like to thank our Patrol Division and Ceres Detectives who work hard in keeping the children in this community safe.”
