Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following a suspicious incident in the Kingsbury area on Friday morning (25/11)
At around 8am, the victim, a boy, was walking in the Kingsbrook area of Aylesbury when he was approached by a white vehicle.
The male passenger spoke to the boy and tried to entice him into the vehicle by offering him sweets and chocolates. No attempt was made to grab the boy and the male did not get out of the vehicle.
The boy continued to school where he reported the incident.
Police are treating this as an attempted abduction.
The driver of the van is described as a white man, of average build, in his mid-twenties or early thirties, with brown hair.
The passenger was wearing a black balaclava.
They were driving a white Volkswagen Transporter with black markings on it.
Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Simon Mountain, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “This was at a busy time of day, so I’m appealing for anyone that has a dash-cam, doorbell camera or CCTV to see if they have any footage that can help us with our enquiries.
