Man ‘tried to snatch schoolgirl, 11, from street’ in broad daylight – as cops release CCTV of men they want to speak to
A MAN is said to have tried snatching an 11-year-old schoolgirl from the street in broad daylight.
Cops have now released CCTV footage of two men they wish to speak to.
The alleged incident was prevented by a Good Samaritan who intervened.
The young girl was walking on the High Street in West Wickham, Bromley, south east London at 11.45am on June 24 when she was approached by a man.
It’s thought he attempted to convince her to leave with him but a passer-by saw that she appeared to be uncomfortable and took her to a nearby shop.
Police have released images of the two men they would like to speak to following the alleged attempted abduction.
The Met Police said: “Detectives investigating an attempted abduction have released images of two men they want to identify and speak with.
