The alleged incident happened in Victoria Road at around 7pm.

According to police, the boy refused to get into the car and the incident was reported to the police - who were able to respond immediately, as some officers were already in the area.

A Lincolnshire Police spokeswoman said: “Unfortunately, there is no description of make of car, so the extent of police enquiries is limited.
