Creepy moment an older man tries to tempt a six-year-old girl into the men's restroom

Police have arrested a 'creepy man' who tried to lure a six-year-old girl into a supermarket restroom following a public appeal.



Riverside Police in California released CCTV footage of the incident on Wednesday and within 24 hours they had made an arrest.
The man, named as Theodore Childers was detained by detectives who were investigating the February 15 incident.



According to police: ' A male suspect attempted to lure the juvenile towards him by telling her he would give her a treat. He also motioned for her to come towards him while he was standing near the entrance to the men’s restroom. The incident was caught on the store's surveillance system.'
The incident happened at the Food4Less supermarket in Riverside, California.



The security footage then shows the man motioning to her to come towards him.



Video shows her stop talking to the man after he beckons her, and pushes the women's bathroom door open to enter.
She was shopping with her grandma at the time of the encounter, and was entirely unharmed.
Though the incident happened last month, police released footage recently because they had exhausted all prior leads.
Childers is currently being held in the Robert Presley Detention Center on a misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting children.
Bail has been set at $5,000.
Childers is due to appear at the Riverside Hall of Justice on Monday at 8am.
