Camarillo, Calif., October 16, 2007—º£½ÇÉçÇø Police officers have released a composite drawing of a suspect involved in an attempted abduction of a º£½ÇÉçÇøCI student. The incident occurred at approximately 10:35 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2007 in a new surface parking lot located behind the University Hub on the º£½ÇÉçÇøCI campus.

Officers conducted a second interview with the victim of the incident, a 24-year-old freshman student of Oxnard, Tuesday evening. She describes the suspect as a white male, in his late 20s, approximately six-feet tall and 200 pounds. He is reported to have short brown hair, thick eyebrows, a well-trimmed goatee, and acne. He was last seen wearing a plain black t-shirt, baggy blue denim jeans, and skateboard-style black sneakers.

The suspect was last seen driving a shiny, black late model Ford Mustang sedan with tinted windows and no visible damage.
