The incident occurred at around 2:50pm in Brookfield, Minsterley.

Witnesses describe seeing a man forcing a woman into a navy blue small car believed to be the same size as a Honda Jazz or Vauxhall Corsa.

Officers have confirmed that nobody has been reported missing in connection with the incident.

As well as appealing for information from anyone who witnessed the incident they are keen to speak to the woman involved.

Inspector Rebecca Bishop said:

"One of the lines of enquiry we are following is that the people involved may be known to each other. However, we remain very concerned for the welfare of the woman and would continue to appeal for anyone with information to contact us. We would also appeal for the woman to contact us to let us know if she is alright; even if she doesn't want to make a formal complaint regarding the incident. We are keen to know she is safe and well."

The woman is described as white, in her late teens / early 20s, slim build with brown, curly hair which came to her jaw line. She was wearing denim trousers, a pink padded jacket and orange trainers.

The man who was driving the car is described as white, in his late 20s /early 30s, about 5ft 8in in height, large build and dark short hair. He was wearing a navy shirt and denim trousers.

Police are appealing for anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident to contact them on 101 quoting incident 405s of 27 February 2016. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
