Detective Constable Iain Turner, from Alton CID, said:

“This was obviously a very frightening situation for the girl concerned and we are keeping an open mind as to the nature of this incident.

“It may be that the men thought it would be amusing to try and frighten the girl and we urgently need to trace them so we can establish the exact nature of what happened.

“The girl did the right thing by running away and raising the alarm, and I would like to remind people to ensure their children are aware of the stranger danger message.”
