Police are hunting for a man and two women after the attempted abduction of an 11-year-old boy in Altrincham.
The incident happened at around 5pm on Wednesday (May 20th) on Urban Road, which is close to Blessed Thomas Holford School.
There are reports locally that the boy attended the Catholic secondary school, but this has not been confirmed by police.
What is known is that he was walking home from school when a black car stopped and a man told him to get in.
The boy ran away and the police were alerted a short time later.
Detective Inspector John Stainton said: “We believe there were three people in the car – two women, one of whom was driving, and a man and all were believed to be in their early 20s.
“I would ask anyone who may have been approached in similar circumstances or saw the car stop on Urban Road, to get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at Altrincham police station on 0161 856 7530 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
