A primary school in Doncaster issued an urgent warning to parents yesterday morning (June 14) following a serious incident.
Woodfield Primary School in Balby, Doncaster, has sent an urgent email warning to parents after two men attempted to snatch two young girls from the South Yorkshire school.
The message from the school has been shared widely on Facebook by worried parents.
A spokesperson for Woodfield Primary School said in the urgent warning: “You may already be aware due to reports on social media but we have been informed this morning that yesterday evening two men attempted to snatch two children of primary school age from Weston Road.
“One was caught and arrested and the other got away.
“Thankfully both girls are safe.
“Please be extra vigilant and ensure you report in anything untoward to the police direct.
“We strongly recommend that all children are collected from school by an adult over the age of 18.”
The incident comes just days after a man was arrested for attempted child kidnap in a separate incident.
However a South Yorkshire Police spokesperson did not say if an arrest had taken place but merely said: “Police are aware of reports circulating online regarding suspicious behaviour in Weston Road, Balby.
“No reports have currently been made to police- we would encourage anyone with concerns to report them to us so we can investigate. Please call 101 or report online.”
