Police have launched an urgent appeal after a 'distressed woman' was forced into a vehicle
Police have launched an urgent appeal after a 'distressed woman' was forced into a vehicle by a man in a layby on the A46 in Nottinghamshire. The incident on the northbound carriageway, near Kinoulton and south of the Owthorpe turning, was reported at 3.15pm on Thursday, December 29.
Both the man and the woman were described as white and police said the incident involved a white or silver coloured vehicle. Detectives believe the incident may be linked to two later reports of a woman in distress in Stoke Ferry Lane, in Shelford, between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on the same day. Detective Inspector Simon Harrison appealed to the public to ask anyone with any information contacts the force as soon as possible. He said: “These are clearly very concerning reports and we are urgently investigating what happened.“Officers have worked throughout the night to track and trace several vehicles seen in the area and we are now appealing to members of the public for help. We would particularly like to speak to drivers who were on the A46 at around 3.
“Ideally, we would like somebody to come forward with dashcam footage of the area. Alternatively if this incident involved you, please get in touch with us immediately so we can satisfy ourselves that nobody has been hurt.” Anyone with information is asked to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 373 of December 29.
