We’ve had charges authorised for a 59-year-old man after an initial report of an attempted abduction of a child at a store in Heywood a week ago.
Sergejus Paskevicius, from Heywood, has been remanded in custody and will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court today (30 July) accused of child abduction after an investigation by our detectives in Rochdale CID alongside our local neighbourhood officers.
The charge relates to an alleged incident involving a man and a child on Saturday (23 July) afternoon at Aldi on Bradshaw Street.
We thank the public for their response and patience while we have conducted our enquires this week, and remind them not to share any information or images online that risk prejudicing this case.
