Child luring reported on West Side prompts Chicago police warning

Chicago police are warning residents of a child luring incident that was reported in the Austin neighborhood on Friday afternoon. 

Around 4 p.m., Chicago police said a group of children were walking in the area of the 4800 block of West Adams Street when a man holding a piece of paper said, "Hey kid, do you want some money?" Police said another man asked the children if they wanted candy from inside a van. 

Police said the men were standing near a white cargo van with no windows and rust marks near the tires.
