A 36-year-old woman was in county jail after her arrest this week on suspicion of kidnapping in connection with four separate incidents within recent weeks, authorities said.
In a statement late last month, Berkeley police said that a 13-year-old girl was walking near Allston Way and McKinley Avenue around 6 p.m. August 29 when a white car pulled up alongside her, with a person inside trying to get her to come in. The girl said no, managing to walk away and telling her parents.
Police also said that a 12-year-old boy was riding his scooter on a sidewalk on Sacramento Street near Addison Street around 5:30 p.m. September 20 when a female he did not know got out of a car and tried to get him to get in. After she approached him, he ran and hid in a nearby driveway. After seeing her waiting when he emerged minutes later, he managed to run away.
In one, a 14-year-old boy working in his front yard in the 2200 block of Jefferson Avenue said a similar person had approached him around 5:30 p.m. August 29 and tried to shake his hand twice. In another, a 15-year-old boy near Allston Way and Grant Street said that someone had approached him around 6:10 p.m. September 14 and tried to get him to come toward her vehicle.
