AN 11-year-old girl was approached in Nailsworth by a man offering her a lift in his van, police have said.
The girl was approached between 4.15 and 5pm while she walking was home from school along Spring Hill on Tuesday, April 21.
When she reached the junction with Hayes Road a small, red Royal Mail van pulled up alongside her and the man, who was alone in the vehicle, asked her if she wanted a lift.
When she refused the man drove off 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 twenties, of medium build with a slightly ruddy, sunburnt complexion.
He had yellow teeth and possibly brown eyes. He had blond stubble and blond/brown hair that was very messy and was wearing a dirty green polo shirt.
The lettering of the old Royal Mail van was faded but could still be seen faintly.
Police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or who recognises the van or the description of the driver. The Police would also like to hear from anyone who may have been approached by the same man in this red van.
Please call 101 quoting incident number 327 of April 21.
