Chicago (CBS) -- The DuPage County Sheriff's office is asking residents for assistance in identifying a man who tried to lure an 8-year-old boy with candy in Wheaton Saturday.
Around 4:50 p.m., a man driving a white SUV pulled up next to a boy walking his dog in the area of Flint Creek Road and Orchard Road in unincorporated Wheaton.
