Gardaí are investigating the alleged attempted abduction of a child in Blackrock yesterday evening.
The incident happened when a child was invited into a stranger’s car at Cocklehill.
The driver was described as male, approximately 30 years of age, driving a small navy car (similar to a Peugeot 206) with partial registration 03 LH.
Thankfully, the child in question was able to run back to their parent, who was talking to someone nearby.
The car then sped off, performing a U-turn before heading in the direction of the Dublin Road.
Anyone with information is asked to contact either Blackrock or Dundalk Garda Stations.
