An unidentified man is wanted in New Jersey after authorities say he tried to use candy to abduct a 7-year-old boy from a Wawa restroom on Sunday.
The incident happened just before 12:30 p.m. at the Dorchester Wawa located at 3904 State Highway 47 in Maurice River, the New Jersey State Police said.
The child told police that the suspect came into the restroom and offered him candy to leave the store with him.
