Google

Police are looking for two men after a three-year-old girl was approached and kissed while walking with her mother.

The incident took place along Barrowby Gate in Grantham, Lincolnshire, at around 2.55pm on 22 June.

As the mother and daughter walked along the road, two men came towards them, and one in a white and grey jacket bent down and kissed the child on the face before walking away.

The distressed mother tried to confront the men, but they just walked away, with a male in a red top laughing. They left the scene, heading towards Dysart Road, police said.
