A mum was left horrified after she was approached by three men who offered to buy her daughter while she was on the morning school run.
According to police officers, the ordeal occurred on December 1 at approximately 8:20am.
The woman, who lives in Sheffield, was walking with her daughter to Lower Meadow Primary Academy school when the men came up to her outside of the gates, Yorkshire Live reports.
The men then brandished a large amount of money and offered to buy the woman's daughter.
She refused this advance and ran towards the school with her small child.
Officers say a black or blue car was then heard "screeching" away from the scene towards Dyche Lane with three men inside.
In a statement a spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said: "Unfortunately no number was got for the vehicle.
"The male offering to buy the daughter was in his late 30s/early 40s wearing a grey hoody with stripes down the side. He was also wearing dirty navy bottoms and a head warmer partially covering his face.
"Any further sightings of the suspected male should be reported to police as soon as possible allowing officers to attend. 8153."
