LOS ANGELES, CA (CBS) -- Police have released a composite drawing of a heavyset man who is wanted for asking two nannies in an Encino park if they would sell the babies for which they were caring.
The man approached the nannies earlier this week near the swings at Encino Park, also known as Genesta Park, on Ventura Boulevard at Genesta Avenue, authorities said.
''This type of behavior is quite unusual," said Los Angeles police Lt. Paul Vernon. ''We'd like to identify this man as quickly as possible."
The man was described as white, in his 40s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighed 200-250 pounds. He had blue eyes, was bald and had a mustache. He wore blue jeans and a yellow shirt.
One nanny told KNX 1070 she was approached by the man at the park.
''He offered to buy the baby she was watching, but the woman declined," Vernon said.
On Tuesday, the nanny was again at the park when she saw the man approach another nanny who was caring for a baby, Vernon said.
"After the man left, the first nanny approached the second and asked her what the man wanted," Vernon said. "The woman confirmed that he offered to buy her baby."
