Riverside police Thursday were seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who has tried to coax teenage girls into his vehicle.

In three separate incidents in recent months, the suspect told the high school girls that he could get them a modeling job, according to police.

The man was seen driving a silver Toyota Tacoma pickup with four doors and a short bed. Police described the man as a Latino in his 20s or 30s with dark curly hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Rita Cobb at (951) 353-7120 or Det. Melissa Brazil at (951) 353-7121.
