3. Young Canberra Girls 2 v. Abductors 0:
- ACT Policing is investigating an incident that occurred in Melba yesterday (March 31) in which a man attempted to pull a young girl into his vehicle.
The 12-year-old girl was walking along Chinner Crescent about 6.05pm when she observed a vehicle slowing down beside her.
The male driver made a number of sexual advances toward the girl before stopping the vehicle behind her and attempting to pull her in to the car by her arm. The male released his grip when the girl took her mobile phone from her pocket and told him she was calling police. He then got back in his car and left the area.
Police are assisting the victim to compile a face-fit of the man. He is described as approximately 50-60 years of age, approximately 5’11” (180cm) tall with a thin build, tanned complexion, shoulder length grey hair and a distinctive goatee and beard. He was wearing a black T-shirt with yellow sleeves, black pants and black work boots.
The vehicle he was driving is described as a red older model hatchback, possibly a Barina.
Police do not believe this to be related to a similar incident which occurred in Conder on Monday.
