Roseville police say girl made up attempted kidnapping story because she didn't want to go to school

ROSEVILLE, Mich. (FOX 2) - A 7-year-old Roseville girl falsely reported that a man tried to abduct her from her bus stop because she didn't want to go to school Monday, police said.

The girl originally told police that she was at her bus stop around 7:55 a.m. when a man in a white work van approached her. She said he told her to get in the van and then grabbed her.

However, this never happened. 

"Although I am unhappy about the amount of wasted resources, we at the Roseville Police Department are elated that this did not happen in our city," Police Chief Mitch Berlin said.
