Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempt by three men to kidnap a nine-year-old girl on Sunday, September 22, at the junction of Main Avenue and Agricola Place in Bush Hill Park, Enfield.

On her way back, a large silver Transit-style van stopped and three Eastern European-looking men got out and shouted at the victim to get into the van.
