Man charged with abductions

A Swindon man charged in connection with the abduction of a teenage girl outside a school in the town has been charged with six further offences involving three other girls.

Graham Adams, 65, of Mulberry Grove in Pinehurst, was arrested by police as he left court on Tuesday.

He had just appeared before Swindon magistrates charged with abducting and indecently assaulting a 14-year-old girl outside Hreod Parkway School on 6 October.

He was also charged with possessing cannabis.

Bailed

As he left court, Mr Adams was arrested, and later charged with six counts relating to the abduction and attempted abduction of three other girls under the age of 16 in Swindon.

He was taken back to court to confirm his name, address and age, before proceedings were adjourned for a week for further inquiries to be made.

Mr Adams has been bailed on condition that he stays in a hostel in Somerset, keeps away from Swindon and makes no contact with anyone under 16 without supervision.

A further hearing is due on 27 October.
