Chicago police are warning residents about a recent incident of child luring at a West Side elementary school. 

A 16-year-old girl and her 6-year-old nephew were at Brian Piccolo Elementary School located in the 1000 block of North Keeler Avenue around 4 p.m. when they were approached by a Hispanic man.

Police say he approached the girl speaking Spanish, which the victim could not understand. He allegedly made a gesture to move to an area of the school's playground which was more secluded. 

The offender fled southbound on Kildare Avenue.
