POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man allegedly attempted to abduct a 12-year-old boy near a Morley school.
The boy, a pupil at Woodkirk Academy, had left the school at around 2.15pm on Friday, December 21 and says he was walking along Rein Road when a car pulled up at the side of him.
The man asked him to get in to the car, saying he would give him £1.

A 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted child abduction and was later bailed pending further enquiries.

Insp Sullivan is now appealing to anyone who was on Rein Road at around 2.15pm on December 21, who believes they may have any information about the incident, is urged to call police via the non-emergency number, 101.
