Police today warned parents and youngsters to be vigilant after a van driver tried to entice a schoolgirl into his van.
The incident came as police also issued an alert about a motorist who has been following a group of boys on their way home from school in Basildon.
Only the interception of builders saved the girl, ten, on her way to a Runwell school, from the would-be abductor.
