Gardaí issue warning after man seen acting suspiciously near young girls

GARDAÍ have warned parents to be vigilant after a man allegedly tried to entice a child into his car and later acted suspiciously in front of other children.

Gardaí said they were treating the alleged approaches seriously. They were made to three groups of girls who were playing in a Co Cork town on Monday night.

The incidents took place in the Deerpark area of Bandon between 8pm and 9.30pm. The man, who was driving a light-blue car, first drove up to two girls and engaged them in small talk. They left the scene unharmed.
