Police are looking for a man who has been reportedly approaching young children over the last month in Wellington.
Reassurance patrols have been placed near the corner of Mt Albert Road and Volga Street, where the matters were reported to have happened.
Police said the information provided in the report was being assessed and enquiries were ongoing.
“We understand incidents like this can be unsettling to the community; however, we ask parents to be alert, not alarmed,” Wellington area prevention manager, inspector Jason McCarthy said.
“The children have done the right thing by avoiding the man and telling a trusted adult. We encourage parents and caregivers to have discussions around behaviours and actions that are inappropriate or that make a child feel uncomfortable.”
Police urged the community to report any suspicious behaviour.
