A 12-YEAR-OLD girl was reportedly followed by a man in a van through Chippenham, leading police to increase patrols in the area.
The incident happened at 3.35pm on Wednesday (November 16), when the girl was followed by a man in a white van along Queen’s Crescent, Hungerdown Lane and onto Southmead.
The van drove past her slowly before turning down a side road and re-appeared to drive past the girl again before she met with her parents.
The van is described as an old white car-derived van with no markings or signage and the man was white.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “Visible patrols are going to be increased in the area particularly before and after school times to deter further incidents.”
Anyone with information should call 101 with reference number 54160103166.
