Children make up abduction claim

An allegation of an attempted abduction of two children in Wakefield was made up by the youngsters, police have said.

Detectives launched an investigation after claims a man tried to bundle a seven-year-old boy and a girl aged nine into a car.

But police said the children had now admitted the allegations about the abduction attempt were false.

Det Supt Bill Shackleton said: "The children involved have been spoken to about their actions."
