Hunt after failed abduction

POLICE are still on the hunt for a man who tried to abduct a teenage girl in daylight in Berwick last month.
The girl was grabbed by the man as she walked along Kangan Drive around 3.45pm on Wednesday 12 March and told to get in his car before she fled after freeing herself.
Police have released an image of the man who they believe can assist them with their inquiries.
He is described as Caucasian, in his early to mid-20s with a solid to muscular build, with short brown hair, fair skin, a stud on the left side of his nose and wearing a white singlet with red writing at the time.
He was accompanied by another man and drove a small, dark blue car.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, and quote the reference number CA 7287.
