At around 1am on Monday 15 August two 15-year-old girls were sat on a bench at the junction of Back Moor and Mottram Moor when they were approached by a silver Vauxhall Astra.
There were three men in the car and one of them briefly spoke with the girls before they became scared and ran off, hiding in a nearby ginnel.
The men then began looking for the girls, with one of them stood at the bottom of the ginnel. The girls ran past this man when he tried to grab one of them.
Luckily he was unsuccessful and they managed to escape before the men drove off in the direction of Glossop.
The first man, who stood at the bottom of the ginnel, is described as an Asian man in his early 20’s, approximately 6ft tall and wearing a thick black jacket and a red baseball cap.
The second man is described as an Asian man in his early 20’s, approximately 5ft 11in tall and wearing a grey/white tracksuit.
The third man is described as an Asian man in his early 20’s with black hair.
Detective Constable Wayne Marshall of GMP’s Tameside borough said: “This incident left the two girls absolutely terrified and we now have officers providing them with support.
“This is obviously quite a worrying set of circumstances and we have launched a full investigation.
“If anybody witnessed the incident or has any information then please contact police immediately.”
Anybody with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident number 154 of 15/08/16, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
