Police continue to investigate reported sightings of a suspicious in Woodroffe.
On two days last week, Wednesday and Thursday, a white Renault master van was reported following school children along Harrison Court in Woodroffe.
Around 3pm on Friday, police received another report of a man parking a white van and approaching a child on foot at Sirius Park, Woodroffe.
The child ran to her school and reported the incident to police.
The man is described as approximately 40-years-old with a black beard and was wearing a fluorescent orange work shirt.
