A LOCAL high-school has issued a warning to parents and pupils after reports of a man grabbing a 13-year-old girl.

Police were investigating the incident, which is said to have happened in the Yeadon area, on September 19.

It was reported at 5:40pm the day after.

Benton Park School sent an email out to inform parents of the incident and the steps it had taken.

Part of the email said: "Advice has been given to students to be mindful of their personal safety as they travel to and from school."

Yeadon is in Benton Park's Catchment Priority area for admissions and a large number of pupils head into school from this location every day.

Officers were conducting initial enquiries to establish the full circumstances, at the time of the email.
