THE attempted abduction of three young girls in two separate incidents has prompted gardai to issue a warn- ing to parents across Clare.
Efforts are being made to trace a bearded man, aged around 40, in a black jeep, after young children were approached by a man offering marshmallows, in two different loca- tions last week. The startled young girls were approached in Droma- drehid and Kilnamona.
Two reported incidents are the sub- ject of a garda investigation. Gardai say they are keeping an open mind on whether the incidents are con- nected and have appealed to the public to report any similar sightings immediately.
