Shock waves

The number of attempted child abductions in Northern Ireland has rocketed by more than 50% in two years, the Belfast Telegraph can reveal.

Incidents reported to police as 'attempted child abduction' totalled a shock 71 last year, compared to 49 in 2005 and 42 in 2004.

The figures sent shock waves through the community last night - with calls for more action to be taken to protect children.
