HUNSBURY: Suspicious man tried to 'pick up' 11-year-old girl

Police are appealing for witnesses after an 11-year-old girl was approached by a stranger who told her he had been sent to 'pich her up'.
The incident happened in Penvale Road, Hunsbury on the afternoon of Friday, May 6.
At shortly before 4pm, the girl was walking home from school when a small silver two-door car came towards her, crossed the road and parked up. The male driver got out of the car and said he had been told to pick the girl up. The girl ran off to her home address.
The man is described as possibly being Asian or mixed race, aged in his twenties, of thin build with a goatee beard.
He had short black hair which was shorter on the sides than on top. He did not have any glasses or jewellery and was wearing jeans and white Adidas trainers with a blue logo.
The car was a small two-door Fiat Punto type car with a grey interior. The rear seat behind the front passenger seat was folded down and the girl thinks there were the numbers 7 and 3 in the number plate.
Witnesses to this incident, or anyone with information, should call Northamptonshire Police on 03000 111 222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
