A schoolboy was approached by a stranger while cycling home on Monday (June 23) in Colchester.
The ten-year-old was cycling along Forest Road at around 4.15pm when a man driving a blue car stopped and invited him into the vehicle.
The boy immediately fled the scene on his bike and told his parents who contacted police.
Anyone with information about the car driver, who was described as being white, aged about 40-50, and with grey hair and grey stubble, should contact the investigating officer Pc Joanne Barlow at Colchester police station on 101.
