Police are investigating after a teenage girl was approached by two men in a black BMW on the way to school.

Officers received a report that the teenage girl was walking along Oakwood Road, Maidstone at around 8.30am when two men she did not know in a car stopped beside her.

It is reported the passenger, who is described as wearing a grey and beige jumper, got out of the car and appeared to follow her for a short while. The driver is described as being dark-skinned.

St Simon Stock School has issued a warning to pupils and to remind them of the dangers of speaking to strangers.

A similar communication has also been sent from nearby Maplesden Noakes after staff were made aware of the situation.

An email to parents from the Buckland Road school said: "Please can parents speak to their children and ensure they walk to and from school in pairs as a minimum and do not engage with strangers or anyone in cars."

Officers are keen to trace these men and ask that anyone with information that can help contacts Kent Police on 01622 604100 quoting reference 17-0242.
