The police are appealing for witnesses after a Banbury school student was approached by a stranger outside school this morning (December 15).

The student from the Warriner School was approached by the stranger in a white van, who asked her to get inside his vehicle, saying, “Come on it’s a taxi" at around 8.35am this morning.

The vehicle was described as a white van with rust all over and blacked-out windows at the side and back, there was no writing on the sides of the van, and the taxi sign on top of the vehicle reportedly looked to be fake.
