Girl, 11, escapes white van abduction attempt
The pair were travelling in a large white van through Oylgate, in Co Wexford, on Monday lunchtime when they pulled over and offered the girl a lift. They were heading towards Enniscorthy at the time.
The men, both aged in their 20s, attempted to coax her into the vehicle and drove alongside her for several yards, until she ducked off the cycle path into a neighbour’s house. The men did not pursue the girl, who rang her mother from her mobile phone.
