Grove Chief of Police Mark Morris said they are searching for a suspect who allegedly tried to kidnap a 1-year-old girl from a splash pad Monday afternoon.
The incident happened at approximately 1:30 p.m. at the Grove Splash Pad.
Morris said a woman was taking her niece to the bathroom when a man followed them into the bathroom and picked up the victim.

Both the woman and child were unharmed, Morris said.
Morris said the suspect left in a late model black Ford Focus and was driving west from the splash pad.
The suspect is described as an older, tall man with thick, long bushy gray hair and a long gray beard, Morris said.
