PARKER, Colo. — Parker police are searching for a car that was reportedly involved in an attempted abduction Wednesday, the department said in a news release.

Five Douglas County schools were put on secure status as a safety precaution for about an hour on Wednesday morning, including Frontier Valley, Iron House and Pioneer Elementary Schools, Cimarron Middle School and Legend High School.

The investigation began when a student at Frontier Valley Elementary School reported to a staff member that a man with gray hair in a black Audi sedan approached and began talking to the student around the 23000 block of Bay Oaks Avenue, according to the Parker Police Department.
