Attempted Child Abduction Shocks Portchester
A chilling attempted child abduction has left Portchester residents rattled. The incident took place just after 3:30pm on Monday outside Wicor Primary School in Hatherley Crescent, as children were leaving class.
Girl Targeted After School
A Year 5 girl was walking home alone when a black saloon car screeched to a halt beside her. A white, middle-aged man leaned over, opened the passenger door, and asked if she was “1” – before beckoning her to get in.
Thankfully, the brave youngster refused and quickly told her parents, who were waiting nearby at The Seagull pub.
