Kids foil abduction attempt

Eleven-year-old twins foiled an apparent abduction attempt on Monday in Thousand Oaks at the corner of Sunset Hills Boulevard and Windbreeze Avenue.

Around 6 p.m., they bolted and ran away from a white male in his 50s, 5 feet, 11 inches tall with thin, whitishgray hair and a medium build. The man exited a late model, unmarked white van and tried to coax the children into his van by asking, "Do you kids like elephants? Come on over here."

The twins were unable to describe the van's male driver.

A report was filed with the T.O. Police Department.
