Detectives tracked down and arrested a creep who drove around Flushing and Corona trying to lure young girls into his SUV, police said.
Angel Recalde, 43, rented a late-model Cadillac Escalade and used it to approach young girls — leaving an easier trail for cops to follow, authorities said.
Recalde allegedly went up to a 14-year-old girl at about 8 p.m. Monday near Northern and Parsons boulevards in Flushing and tried to lure her toward the SUV, cops said.
When she turned and quickly walked off, the sicko allegedly trailed her in the car but eventually gave up and took off, authorities said.
Earlier that day, at 7 a.m., he approached a 13-year-old girl on Northern Boulevard near 102nd Street in Corona.
Detectives checked on recently rented Escalades, “which led them to the individual who was arrested,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly yesterday, adding that the suspect “made statements implicating himself.”
Recalde was charged with luring a child to commit a crime, endangering the welfare of a child and harassment, records show.
