It comes after a girl was approached in Wootton by a man who said that her mum had sent him to pick her up. However, she did not get into the car and ran off.

The incident took place in a cut-through off Wooldale Road on September 30.

Police have since been in touch with nearby Caroline Chisholm School to organise a ‘stay safe’ assembly to alert the children of the dangers of strangers.
