Abduction of teenage girl – Chinderah

Police are appealing for information after a man has forced a teenage girl into his vehicle, in the state’s north last night.

About 7.30pm (Tuesday 24 April 2012), a 16-year-old girl was walking south on Tweed Coast Road, Chinderah, under the Pacific Highway overpass near the big round-about.

A car approached the girl, and the male driver spoke to her.

The girl ignored the man and kept walking, the car has stopped and the man forced the girl into the front passengers’ seat.

The man drove onto Pacific Highway and continued north onto Terranora Road.

As the car was going around a bend at Banora Point, the girl has managed to jump out of the car.

She ran and hid in bushes, before calling a family friend and running to a nearby house.

Police from Tweed/Bryon Local Area Command were contacted and attended her location.

The man has been described as 50 to 60 years old, dark complexion, with an Australian accent, short greying hair balding at the front, wearing a black and white small checked long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

The car has been described as a small silver four-door hatch, black interior, leather seats, dark tinted windows, an automatic transmission, and bearing small white number plates with black writing.

Anyone who knows the man’s identity or who may have seen the vehicle in the area should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
