Police no longer investigating suspected attempted abduction of young girls


Police are no longer investigating a suspected attempted abduction of a young girl in Guisborough.


And Cleveland Police has also confirmed that officers are no longer investigating separate reports that another girl was followed two days in a row by men in a car in Ingleby Barwick.


The Gazette reported last week that a Laurence Jackson School pupil was walking on Hutton Lane in Guisborough on Wednesday September 17 when she described men pulling up in a car alongside her, and shouting towards her.


After the incident was reported to them, Laurence Jackson sent out a warning message to parents of pupils at the school.


Then in a separate incident, police received reports that a 12-year-old girl was cycling along Challacombe Crescent in Ingleby Barwick on Tuesday September 16 and again on Wednesday September 17 when a man pulled up in a car alongside her.


Police have now confirmed that they are no longer pursuing the incidents, as no crime had been committed.


A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “Last week we had reports of two suspicious incidents.


“But as no crime was actually committed, we are not able to arrest anyone.


“People in the areas should remain vigilant and continue to report any concerns.”


The spokeswoman added that the reports of the incident have been passed on to the relevant neighbourhood policing teams.
