Parents have been warned after a suspicious man allegedly offered a lift home to a lone schoolgirl.

The incident is believed to have happened after school outside Great Chart Primary School in Ashford.

According to reports on social media, a mum witnessed a man in a silver saloon type car approach her daughter.

She posted: “He asked her if she wanted a lift home. She ran towards other parents and he drove off towards Running Foxes Lane.”

Others posting in response said the man in the car looked “weird”, and was not recognised as one of the other parents.

One wrote: “I walked him the par and I could see his head keep turning. Almost like everyone who walked past he was checking out. That’s what made me feel creepy as most people don’t do that. I knew something wasn’t right.”

Some reports say the suspicious man looked middle aged, possibly in his 50s and was wearing dark clothes. Other reports say he was younger, possibly in his 30s, wearing a black hooded top.

Wendy Pang Headteacher at Great Chart Primary School said: “I have sent an email to parents letting them know that we will talk to the children about stranger danger and for them to be vigilant and reinforce the message too with their children.”
