Police are hunting a pair of men who tried to lure two Scots school boys into their car.
The children, aged six and 10-years-old, were approached as they played in Westfield Way, Inverness, on Sunday.
At around 4.30pm, a blue coloured car pulled up to the duo where one man within the car asked the youngsters to get in.
The children thankfully refused and raised the alarm a short time later.
Officers investigating the suspicious incident say one of the men is described as having a short beard, brown hair and was wearing a blue/red jacket or jumper.
Inspector Alastair Garrow said: “The boys refused to get in the car and are safe and well.
“This is a worrying incident and we have carried out a review of CCTV and door to door enquiries to ascertain who these two men are.
“One of the men is described as having a short beard, brown hair wearing a blue/red jacket or jumper. They were driving a dark blue car.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 2674 of 23 February.”
