Officers from the LaPorte Police Department are searching for three male suspects who reportedly attacked a teenage girl around noon Monday as she was walking home from a friend’s house. The girl told the officers she noticed the three men crossing the street when she left a convenience store at the corner of Indiana Avenue and Osborn Street. She said the men followed her, even though she made several turns. The girl then reportedly took off running, and the suspects gave chase. She said they caught up with her in a driveway in the 500 block of B Street and pulled her shirt off. However, the resident of the home told police she was home all day with her dog, and she did not hear any commotion, nor did her dog bark. When officers retraced the girl’s steps they found her shoes at Plummer and A Streets. Her purse is still missing. The suspects are described as white males in their 20s wearing all black.
