“Two males walked past the car and one of the men opened the back door and pulled at one of the boys in the back. The boy was strapped in and the man ran off from the car. He is described as being in his mid 20s, around 5ft 8in tall and was wearing a white coloured tracksuit. The second male also ran off and he is described as being in his early 30s, of sticky build with a tattoo below his left ear and a shaved head. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black jacket.
