	Gardai are searching for attempted child-abduction suspects after alerts in two towns.</p>
<p>
	A four-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy were the intended victims of van-drivers in the north-west of the country with concerns raised in Leitrim village and in Bundoran, Co Donegal.</p>
<p>
	The first alert was raised in Bundoran last week when a four-year-old reported being invited into a van for sweets while playing in his front garden in the Silverhill area of the town.</p>
<p>
	The white van, possibly a Renault, sped away when the mother emerged from the house.</p>
<p>
	The worried mother told investigating gardai that she believed the van had southern registration plates.</p>
<p>
	Gardai in Bundoran were unable to detect any similar van in an early follow-up search around the town.</p>
<p>
	A few days later the driver of another van, a white Toyota Hiace with blue and black writing on the driver&#39;s side and carrying a Donegal registration plate, tried to coax a 10-year-old boy into his vehicle in broad daylight in Leitrim village.</p>
<p>
	<br />
	The child immediately ran for help and the driver made off in the direction of Drumshanbo.</p>
<p>
	Gardai were immediately contacted and a text alert was issued to a number of alert schemes in and around the Leitrim village, Carrick-on-Shannon and Drumshanbo areas.</p>
<p>
	The driver of the van was described as a man with a white shirt who was in his 30s.</p>
<p>
	The search for the vehicle and its driver is being conducted by gardai at Carrick-on-Shannon.</p>
