Lynbrook Police have alerted parents in the school district to allegations of a child luring attempt that occurred on Oct. 31.   Local law enforcement stated that at approximately 5 p.m., an unidentified individual in a white four-door sedan approached a 13-year-old female in the vicinity of Lafayette Avenue, and asked her if she wanted to get into his car.
