Detectives are hoping to find a man who approached two teenage girls in Lillington on Wednesday July 28.
The teenagers were walking along Valley Road near the junction with Mason Avenue shortly before 6pm when a man in his thirties pulled up alongside them in a blue Ford Ka car.

He asked for directions to the McDonalds drive through and during their conversation the man told the girls he had a problem with one of his eyes and asked them to get into the car.

The girls alerted staff at Lillington Youth Centre, who reported the incident to the police.

Officers searched the area for the vehicle and are asking the public to help them trace the man.

Anyone with information should contact Det Sgt Sean Pyne at Leamington CID on 415000 extension 4168

Police have also reminded young people and their parents to stay safe when outside.
