Detectives say claims of a man trying to lure a West Babylon High School student into his car on Thursday afternoon were fabricated.

A woman previously told News 12 that her daughter called her to say she witnessed a man trying to lure her best friend into his vehicle.

The district even sent a letter to parents about the incident that had allegedly taken place on Arnold Avenue.
