Children must take extra care when coming home independently as a couple of local schoolchildren were approached and intimidated (but not robbed) this afternoon.
Three boys on two bikes (one on the handlebars) – two with hoodies and one wearing a ski mask – stopped and challenged the two schoolchildren about their age as they were walking home at 3.15pm.
The police are aware and no crime was committed but their general approach ( challenging the taller child) and conspicuously covered faces left the schoolchildren uneasy and concerned about what might happen.
Incidents such as this can always be reported by dialling 101, or 999 if a crime occurs.
