A man's tried to abduct a 16-year-old girl in Poole.

Police say a white van pulled up alongside the teenager on Ringwood Road and a man tried to force her inside around 2.45pm last Thursday - but she managed to run away.

The man's around 40 or 50 years old, plump with light grey short hair and he was wearing a white t-shirt with holes in and dark green plastic shoes.
