A teenage girl who was abducted in Essex last night is back with her family, police say.
Officers were called to a report of a teenage girl being forced into a vehicle in Church Langley and driven to Epping, where she managed to flee the car.
The girl is now with her family and is being supported by specialist officers. Officers said she has not suffered any serious injuries.
The incident started in the Minton Lane car park by Tesco at just after 6.50pm.
The car drove to Epping and the victim managed to get out of the car in Buckingham Road at the junction with Lower Swaines at 7.30pm and get help.
Investigating officers are appealing to anyone who saw the incident in Church Langley or Epping to contact them urgently.
The girl is white and has blonde hair. She was wearing a black top, black shorts and white socks and trainers.
The vehicle involved is believed to be a black car and the suspects are described as white men who were wearing tracksuits, police said.
Detective Sergeant Paul Marks said: "We know this incident will be concerning to people. We understand and we are working at pace to try and identify the car and the men involved in this incident. If you were at either of these locations this evening please check your dashcam or CCTV."
