Las Vegas police are investigating after a man reportedly tried to lure a student into his car Monday morning near a northwest valley school.

The student was able to run to safety, Principal Sean Davis wrote in a letter to parents.

Police and the school reminded parents and students to walk in groups and never take rides from strangers.
