A man wanted for reportedly dragging a woman into a car against her will is thought to have headed to Tonbridge.

Essex Police is appealing for help tracing the suspect, after officers received information about a possible abduction in Harlow yesterday morning.

The woman was allegedly forced into a grey Nissan Murano – registration NJ07 TZN – in Westfield at around 6am.

Officers say the vehicle was travelling on cloned plates and they believe it travelled into Kent, possibly Tonbridge.

A spokesman for the force said: "We are working with border forces to locate this vehicle.

"The suspect has been described as being white, between 5ft 8 and 5ft 10 and of a slight build with short mousey brown hair.

"He was wearing a smart shirt, smart trousers and flip flops.

"The woman has been described as being white, aged in her mid-20s, of a slim build with long dark hair. She was wearing a long dark dress.

"We believe that the suspect and victim are known to each other."

If you see the vehicle, police advise calling 999.

Anyone with information is asked to call Harlow CID on 101 quoting incident 164 of 29/05. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
