Attribute to Acting Detective Sergeant Mike Handley:?
?
Hamilton Police are investigating after a 10-year-old girl reported a suspicious approach by two men after school today.?
?
The girl was walking near the intersection of Pine Avenue and Anthony Crescent shortly after 3pm when a van pulled up beside her.?
?
The van was described as “pitch black” with tinted windows, and had a sliding door on the side.?
?
One man was driving the van and a second man opened the sliding door and appeared to lunge towards the girl.?
?
The girl showed great instincts and immediately ran away. ?The van then sped away down Pine Avenue in the direction of Urlich Avenue.?
?
The girl was unhurt in the incident but is understandably very shaken up.?
?
We know that reports of incidents such as these can cause considerable concern for parents and other members of our community.?
?
We would urge everyone to be alert, not alarmed, and to take the opportunity to have conversations with your children about what they should do if they feel unsafe.?
?
Police would like to hear from anyone who saw a black van in the Melville area today around the time of this incident, or anyone who has information which could assist our investigation.?
?
Anyone who can help should call Hamilton Police on 07 858 6200.?
