New plea over woman 'bundled into car' in Shropshire village
A man who tried to force a woman into a car in a Shropshire village is believed to still be in the county, police say.
West Mercia Police said the woman, who is believed to be in her late teens or early 20s, was seen being forced into a small blue car, of a similar size to a Vauxhall Corsa or Honda Jazz, at Brookfield, Minsterley, at about 2.50pm on Saturday.
The vehicle then drove off towards Bishop's Castle. Officers have confirmed that nobody has been reported missing in connection with the incident.
As well as appealing for information from anyone who witnessed the incident they are keen to speak to the woman involved, as they wish to know she is safe.
Inspector Rebecca Bishop said: "One of the lines of enquiry we are following is that the people involved may be known to each other. However, we remain concerned for the welfare of the woman and would continue to appeal for anyone with information to contact us.
"We would also appeal for the woman to contact us to let us know if she is alright, even if she doesn't want to make a formal complaint regarding the incident. We are keen to know she is safe and well."
The woman is described as white, of slim build with brown, curly hair which came to her jaw line. She was wearing denim trousers, a pink, padded jacket and orange trainers.
The man who was driving the car is described as white, in his late 20s to early 30s, about 5ft 8in, of large build with dark short hair and wearing a navy shirt and denim trousers.
Anyone with information should call 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org
