Two people are being sought after an attempted child abduction in Williamson County.
Johnston City Police say at about 4:15 Thursday afternoon in the 300 block of West 11th Street, a young girl was playing in her yard when an unknown woman with red hair grabbed the girl by her feet and attempted to drag her into a small red car. There was another unknown person driving the car.

The child was able to get away and return home to call 911. By the time police arrived, the car had fled the area. An investigation is underway. If you have any information into this incident call 618-983-5888.

Authorities say be sure to keep an eye on your children and report any suspicious activity.
