Two Suspicious Incidents Involving White Van - Wallasey 02 October 2014 Merseyside Police is appealing for information following two suspicious incidents in the Wallasey area this week. In the first instance on Tuesday, 30 September a 12-year-old girl was walking along Breck Road at about 3.40pm when she noticed a white van pull up alongside her. A man got out of the van, approached the girl, and spoke to her in a foreign language. The man then tried to grab the girl’s jacket but she ran away and told her parents who later called police. In the second incident on Wednesday, 1 October a 10-year-old girl was walking along Poulton Road at about 4pm when a white van stopped near to her. A man got out of the van, walked towards her, and tried to grab the girl’s jacket but she ran away. In both incidents neither girl was hurt but they were left very upset. A full investigation into both incidents is underway. The offender is described as male, mixed race and in his late 30s. Neighbourhood Inspector Pete Kolokotroni, said: I would like to reassure the community that we take reports of this nature very seriously. Patrols in the area have been stepped up and officers are reviewing CCTV from the area in a bid to identify the offenders. At this stage of the investigation we believe there are two men involved – the driver of the white van and another man who has approached two girls. I would appeal to anyone with information about either incident to call police.” Anyone with any information is asked to call Merseyside Police on the 101 number, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
