Ornex, Pays de Gex, France -- The Mairie of Ornex located between Ferney-Voltaire and Gex on the Route Nationale 5 has warned about a recent kidnapping attempt at a school bus stop in the Vert Village area. An unidentified man in a white van drove up to the bus stop and attempted to persuade one of the children to climb in. He was unsuccessful and fled when nearby parents approached. The gendarmerie have been informed. The police are warning parents to be vigilant and adopt basic security procedures, such as not allowing their children to walk unaccompanied  to school or wait alone at  bus stops. This is not the first time that something like this has happened in the Pays de Gex. In late 2008, there were at least two reported kidnapping attempts (See Essential Edge story ) in the Pays de Gex. Anyone witnessing anything unusual should report this to the police or any other local authorities immediately.
