POLICE are appealing for information after a man told a little girl to get in the boot of his car in Cheltenham.

At around 6pm on Friday, June 26 in Bishops Cleeve a little girl, wearing a red summer school dress, left her house in Sunrise Avenue to cycle to her friend's house in Gorse Road.

She got off her bike at the junction of Gorse Road and Sunrise Avenue and saw a white and silver car with a man sitting in the driver's seat.

He wound down the car window and started talking to her through the open window. He told the little girl to 'get in the back in the boot'. The girl didn't reply and quickly cycled home.

The man is described as white with very short, spiky hair and a long face. He was wearing a ring on the index finger of his right hand which he kept taking off and putting back on while he spoke to the girl.

Police would like to hear from anyone who remembers seeing the car or the little girl to come forward.

Call 101 quoting incident number 405 of June 26 2015.
