Police probe Doncaster 'kidnapping' after girl spotted screaming in back of car

Officers were called to Dunscroft last night after a member of the public said she was approached by the female driver of the car.

In a widely shared social media post describing the incident, the woman said: “Be careful girls, was in Dunscroft not long ago and got pulled over by a red Peugeot 207 with an old woman driving.

"Not long after she pulled over, a girl was screaming in the back and banging on the windows ‘help I’m being kidnapped.’

“She sped off. Be careful girls, looks like we can’t go nowhere anymore. World’s gone mad – everywhere’s getting worse.”
