In the days before the attempted abductions, there were three incidents of suspicious men seen loitering outside the city's schools, the Daily Mail reports. Two days after that an Asian man in a BMW was seen talking to a child, again near St Barnabas school. "Some incidents are reported to have happened whilst children have been walking home from school or in the early evening."
