The driver chased her in his vehicle and again asked her to get into his vehicle and offered her an inducement to do so.

The girl again refused and reached home without further incident.

The police do not know the registration number or the model of the van and have asked for anyone who has CCTV alarms and lives on Castlewood Parkway and Friday Hill Drive to check their footage.
