Cloverdale Schools alerts parents of possible abduction

In a message from Cloverdale Schools superintendent Greg Linton to families this morning, Cloverdale families were made aware of a possible child abduction. 
The message states that at approximately 11 a.m. there was what school officials believed to be an attempted child abduction of a Cloverdale Elementary School preschool student at a bus stop. 

"Thanks to the quick response of our bus driver, the student was retrieved back onto the bus. The student is in the care of their guardian at this time," Linton said. 

School officials have provided the Cloverdale Police, Owen County Sheriff's Department and Putnam County Sheriff's Department with video of the car, as well as the occupants. The Owen County Sheriff's Department is the lead investigating department in the matter. 

According to law enforcement, the suspect vehicle is described as a gray Chevrolet Malibu with an out of state plate. The vehicle was occupied by two individuals and the driver was identified as an older, white male, possibly in his 60's, with glasses on and balding. The second suspect is a black male. 

Anyone with any information in the matter is asked to call the Owen County Sheriff's Department at 812-829-5757. 

This is an ongoing story that will be updated as updates arise.
