Appeal for information after child heard calling for help

Police are appealing for information after a report that a child was heard calling for help in Stroud yesterday (Sunday 5 March).

Officers were called by a resident on Rodborough Common who had heard what sounded like a child calling from a large car as it drove past at around 9.30pm last night.

Despite a search of the area and a number of enquiries at houses in the vicinity, no trace of the car or child has been found.

Officers would like to speak to the occupants of the car in order to find out what has happened and ensure that everyone is safe.

Anybody with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary through the website, quoting incident 374 of 5 March: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/us/a-crime-that-has-already-been-reported/
