Police searching for Madeleine McCann are also investigating five attempted child abductions in northern Portugal.
They began when a nine-year-old girl was bundled into a car as she got off her school bus.
Two more children were attacked last month and last Thursday two men tried to lure a girl of nine into a car.
Last Saturday, another child escaped abduction. One police source said: “It is causing a lot of alarm.”
The attempted kidnappings happened 300 miles north of Praia da Luz, where Madeleine vanished from her family’s rented holiday apartment in the Ocean Club last May 3.
Private detectives investigating her disappearance believe she may have been abducted by a paedophile.
Meanwhile, it emerged that detectives have been unable to trace several people who may have visited or stayed in the McCanns’ holiday apartment.
