Couple tried to abduct girls: police
Two young girls were grabbed while playing in a Sydney schoolyard in a failed abduction attempt, police say.
The girls, both aged seven, were in in a playground at Mascot Public School on King Street , Mascot, when they were approached by a man and woman about 11.30am on Friday.
"The girls allege the man grabbed the pair, but they managed to break away and ran to tell a teacher," police said in a statement.
"One of the girls has told investigators the man and woman got into a van which was parked nearby and drove away."
The van is described as white, with several windows and graphics of orange flames near the wheels.
The man is said to be aged in his 40s, with short dark hair and wearing dark jeans and a yellow T-shirt.
The woman is about 30, with long blonde hair.
She wore black jeans and a white T-shirt.
Police are warning parents around the Mascot area to take particular care of their children and to explain the dangers of being approached by a stranger.
Student safety was of paramount concern at Mascot Public School, an Education and Training spokesman said.
"Mascot Public School has a rolling stranger danger/safety to and from school program in terms of messages for students and parents," he said in a statement.
