Major Concerns Raised After Children Suspiciously Approached In Co Down
Major concerns have been raised after children have been suspiciously approached in Bangor, Co Down.
An eight-year-old girl was approached by a man in the Kircubbin Gardens area on Monday.
In a statement the PSNI said: "The man asked her to keep an eye out while he went to the toilet. She said no and this male then made off towards Glastry Gardens."
Elsewhere, a seven-year-old girl who was playing near her home in Glastry Court, was approached by a man who asked her to go into an alleyway. When she refused the man exposed himself before she ran away.
The man is described as being in his 30's, approximately 5ft 7inches tall and was wearing a blue top, possibly with red or orange stitching round the hood.
Superintendent Brian Kee, District Commander, said: "These are very serious matters and the manner in which these children have been approached is utterly shocking. I can only imagine how distressing this was for the children and their parents.
"These incidents have caused a great deal of concern amongst parents in the area. Police would urge anyone with information on any of these incidents, or anyone who can identify who is responsible, to give that information to police so that this offender can be brought to justice."
