CHILDREN and parents are being urged to be vigilant after a boy was approached by a stranger in Brackley.
Last Tuesday (May 6) a man, who was driving a large blue Rover saloon, stopped his car and approached a 12-year-old boy who was walking home from school.
The man did not speak to the boy or touch him but the child felt uncomfortable with his prese
nce and told his parents when he arrived home.
The incident happened at about 4.40pm in the Humphries Drive/ Swift Way area.
Northamptonshire Police believe there could be an innocent reason as to the man's approach, but are appealing to parents to make sure they impress on their children the importance of telling them or a teacher if any similar incident happens to them.
The man is described as white, of medium build, about 6ft tall and approximately 50-years-old. He had grey hair and wore glasses. He was smartly dressed, wearing a short sleeved white shirt with blue stripes and a red tie with black trousers.
There have been no other incidents of this nature reported to police.
Police officers would like to speak to this man or anyone with information about this incident.
Contact Northamptonshire Police on 08453 700700 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
