A man has been arrested after a teenager was allegedly held against her will while walking through woods in Nottinghamshire.
Officers were called to Whinney Lane, New Ollerton, at 18:20 BST on Wednesday to reports the girl had been approached.
The girl was unharmed but reported being stopped for several minutes in nearby Boughton Brake.
A 30-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of an offence under the child abduction act and has since been released on conditional police bail.
Extra patrols had been put on in the area and officers will be in the woods looking for potential witnesses, a spokesman said.
Det Sgt Karl Aram said: “We are now seeking further information from anyone else who was in the area at the time and may have seen a man acting suspiciously.
“We’d also like to hear from any drivers who may have recorded dashcam footage in this area over the last few days."
