Undocumented Immigrant In Custody After Trying To Lure 2 Teen Girls, Exposing Himself, Police Say

UPPER DARBY, Pa. (CBS) - An undocumented immigrant is in police custody in connection to two attempted child lurings in Upper Darby. Police announced Tuesday morning they had charged 25-year-old Rudy Najera-Arita, of Upper Darby, with two luring attempts of children and related offenses.

Police shared images of the vehicle Najera-Arita was driving on Long Lane Friday when he allegedly tried to lure two teenage girls. Police say he also exposed himself.

"Who knows what he could've done if he had gotten one of those two girls in the car: a 12-year-old little girl coming home from school and a 16-year-old girl coming home from school," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. "Exposes himself, playing with his genitals. That's ridiculous, it's stupid."

Najera-Arita has been in the country illegally for seven years.

He's being held on $300,000 bail.
