Appeal for witnesses over alleged attempt by motorist to abduct girl

GARDAÍ were last night trying to track down a man suspected of attempting to abduct a 10-year-old girl.

The girl was walking to school on Boghall Road in Bray, Co Wicklow, shortly after 8.30am, when a white car pulled up beside her. A Garda spokesman said “a suspicious approach” was made by the man.

“The girl was on her way to school and managed to get to school unharmed after the incident,” he said.
