Police in East Brunswick are looking for the man who tried to lure two boys into his car, asking, “Do you want me to take you home?"

According to police, the kids were approached Thursday around noon on Modzelewski Avenue while walking in the rain after being dropped off by their school bus.
The kids say the man in an older small blue car stopped and asked them, "Do you want me to take you home?"
The kids ignored him, and he drove away.
The kids described him as a heavy-set white man in his 40s, who was also smoking.
He had an orange, blonde beard, wearing a gray beanie type hat and a dark green jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 732-390-6990.
