JANESVILLE — Three Janesville men are in custody after they offered candy to two kids and asked them to get in their car.

On March 20, two kids were walking in the 1600 block of Morningside Drive when three white males slowed their car down and asked the kids to get in.

The suspects offered candy to the kids in order to get them in vehicle, however, the kids said no.

The suspects attempted to lure the kids in two more times, getting more aggressive each time. Finally, the victims ran home and told an adult.

Janesville police issued a press release asking for help identifying the suspects, and after a few days, the police identified them and took them into custody.

All three were arrested for disorderly conduct, however, they are waiting for formal charges.
