A SCHOOLBOY was snatched by two men as he rode his bike.

The 13-year-old, who has not been identified by police, was abducted in Bury and then dumped in Breightmet.

He was riding his bike in Grange Road, Bury, at 5.15pm on Friday when a blue Transit-type van pulled up beside him and one of the two men asked him directions.

They forced him into the back of the van and drove towards the Wagon Road and Winchester Way area of Bolton.

Both of the abductors are white. The first is in his mid-20s, 5ft 5ins tall, with a ginger goatee beard, brown hair with streaks, and was wearing a blue coat with a hood, blue Adidas tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

The second is in his early 30s, 5ft 8ins tall with a muscular build, wearing an ear ring, a three-quarter length leather coat, a black top and faded jeans.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Bury CID on 0161 856 8150, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
