Police investigating the attempted abduction of an eleven year old girl in Beach Haven last week say the allegation has proven to be false.
Detective Senior Sergeant Kim LIBBY of the North Shore CIB says enquiries by the Child Abuse Team over the past five days have led police to determine that the attempted abduction never happened.
"Both the complainant and her parents have been cooperative with Police. We are no longer seeking any person or vehicle previously referred to in this enquiry," he said.
"Police will always investigate fully all instances whereby the safety of a child has been compromised and this is a timely reminder for parents to remain ever vigilant on the activities and movements of their children," Mr. LIBBY said.
