Police urge safety after Tauranga girls approached by men
Police have issued safety tips to Otumoetai Intermediate students after a man behaved suspiciously towards a 12-year-old girl crossing the Matua saltmarsh earlier this week.
A police report said the female student was asked by a man to help him find something he had lost in the bushes. Community Constable Paul Wrigley said in the report that it was a very suspicious request. For more information read the Bay of Plenty Times story here.
