Suspicious incidents in Long Clawson
Police are appealing for witnesses after two suspicious incidents in Long Clawson.
The first incident happened at around midday on Wednesday April 22, 2009 when a teenage girl was standing at a bus stop on The Sands. A man in a small white van approached the girl and asked her if she wanted a lift. She ignored the man and a few minutes later he drove off.
This incident was not reported to police until yesterday (Thursday April 30, 2009).
He is described as white, between 40 and 60-years-old, with short dark hair and stubble. He was wearing a green fleece jacket and spoke with a local accent.
The second incident happened at around 7.50am yesterday (Thursday April 30, 2009) as the teenage girl was approached by a man in a scruffy white Transit van whilst she was near the village hall on Back Lane. He asked the girl if she wanted a lift to school and she refused the man drove off.
He is described as white, aged around 35-year-old with dark hair. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt and was wearing glasses, possibly sunglasses.
PC Mark Longden, from Melton local policing unit said: " There are some similarities between these two incidents and officers are keeping an open mind as to whether they could be linked.
"It is not clear what the intentions of the driver are and they could have been completely genuine. I am appealing to anyone who was in the areas at these times and witnessed the incidents or saw a man fitting this description to contact us. Similarly, we would ask this person to come forward or anyone who believes they know his identity to get in touch."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC 210 Mark Longden on 0116 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 0210. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers, which is free* and anonymous on 0800 555 111.
