Attempted Abduction – 8^th July 2015

 

On the advice of the MET Police we have been asked to share an incident which has happened in Harold Hill this morning.  There has been an attempted abduction of a year 6 girl on her way to Drapers’ Brookside Junior School.

 

The vehicle description is distinctive, a grey, green and brown camouflage patterned Range Rover styled vehicle.  There were four adult men in the vehicle and they asked the child for money and then attempted to grab her.  They drove off, returned almost immediately, pulled up on the curb next to her again and made a second attempt to pull her in to the vehicle.

 

The police are investigating this matter and have asked us to share this information with schools in order for our community to remain vigilant. 

 

The police advice is:

·        ensure that children who walk home unaccompanied now walk in pairs

·        school or public to dial 999 if they witness anything suspicious, or sight the vehicle

School Reports

Your child school report will be sent out tonight.

Please do not forget to send back your feedback form and the enclosed questionnaire in order to help us celebrate the successes and address areas that need improving.

As always thank you for your support.
