The girls’ mum Karen Simonds said; “This was in broad daylight! Incidents like this seem to be on the rise.

“I’m normally about in the daytime but yesterday I took my girls to the gym in Sleaford and then went onto visit my cousin in Grantham so was out.

“They are upset and worried they will come back. So am I to be honest.”

Mrs Simonds told The Standard she had heard of other similar incidents taking place in the area over the past few months.

She has supplied CCTV images to the police to follow up on.

A police spokesman confirmed they were investigating the incident.
