Investigators are appealing for information following reports of a child approach in the state’s Hunter region.
Police have been told, four girls aged between five and 16 were at a swimming pool on Cowper Street, Stroud, when they were approached by a man unknown to them about 3pm yesterday (Sunday 6 October 2019).
He made multiple comments towards the girls, to which they did not respond and left the pool. They returned to a nearby campsite and alerted their parents.
The man followed the children back to the campsite before leaving the location in a green hatchback.
Detectives from Port-Stephens Hunter Police District were notified, and an investigation commenced.
The man is only described as being in his mid to late 50s, with short white hair, wearing a dark-coloured check button-up shirt and cream shorts.
Anyone who may have seen a green hatchback in the area at the time are urged to contact Raymond Terrace Police Station on (02) 4983 7400 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
