A man dragged a nine-year-old girl into nearby bushes as she was playing near her grandparents’ house in Spence yesterday afternoon (5 July).
Police said that about 5 pm the young girl was playing in a reserve beside the house on Don Place when the man grabbed her.
The girl was only with the offender for a very short time before he released her unharmed and fled toward Douglass Place.
The offender was wearing black clothing and a black beanie.

They are particularly interested in speaking with anyone walking in the area of Don Place and the reserve at the time of the incident, between 4:50 pm and 5:10 pm.
