The police in Roodepan, Kimberley, are appealing to the public to assist in locating the four-year-old Precious Oliphant, who resides at 38804 Lerato Park, an informal settlement in Roodepan.
Sgt Timothy Sam, police spokesperson, said it is reported that Precious was in the company of her eight-year-old cousin on Thursday, (27/07) when a vehicle stopped next to them.
A light-in-complexion male occupant, who was accompanied by a woman, apparently offered Precious a R1 coin. As she was reaching for the money she was pulled into the vehicle, which then drove off.
The police are requesting anyone with information that may lead to the apprehension of the suspects and the safe return of the girl, to contact the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offence (FCS) unit in Galeshewe, and speak to Det. Const. Orapeleng Liberty Mamapula on 082-495-4605 or 08600-10112, or send an SMS anonymously to 32211 or use the MySAPS App.
All information received will be treated confidentially.
The public is once again reminded that there is no waiting period to report a person missing.
