"The man shouted at Theo trying to get him into the van. Luckily, Theo ran into football training but he’s very shook up.
“The school contacted police but there’s nothing they can do as the CCTV cameras are not adequate enough to search for the van. Please tell all your kids to be very careful wherever they are.”
She added to Lincolnshire Live: “I couldn’t quite believe what Theo had told me, especially how angrily he had been shouted at to get into the van.”
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police confirmed: "Officers are appealing for information after a suspicious incident was reported yesterday.
