AN 11-YEAR-OLD girl was asked if she wanted a lift from a man 'with yellow teeth' while she was walking home from school yesterday, police have reported.
Gloucestershire Constabulary are appealing for information following the incident in Nailsworth yesterday afternoon.
Between 4.15-5pm an 11-year-old girl was walking home from school along Spring Hill.
When she reached the junction with Hayes Road a small, red van pulled up alongside her and the man, who was alone in the vehicle, asked her if she wanted a lift.
The girl said 'no' and the van drove up Spring Hill and the girl lost sight of the van on Nympsfield Road near the telephone box.
The man is described as in his 20s, of medium build with a slightly ruddy, sunburnt complexion. He had yellow teeth and possibly brown eyes. He had blond stubble and blonde/brown hair that was very messy. He was wearing a dirty green polo shirt.
The vehicle was an old Royal Mail van and the outline of the lettering could still be faintly seen.
Police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or who recognises the van or the description of the driver.
Please call 101 quoting incident number 327 of April 21.
