The incident was reported to officers on 5 May from the father of a five-year-old girl who said he had seen her talking to a man in an old-style green vehicle in Nursery Road. He became suspicious and called to his daughter and the man drove off. Officers also received reports of a man in a car with a similar description approaching a five-year-old girl outside the Co-Op supermarket in the High Street around 4pm on 29 April.
The girl said the man, who was driving a dark green vehicle, stopped alongside her and asked if she wanted a pound. She took the money but threw it on the ground because she said it felt plastic.
She described the man as white with a wrinkled face and hands.
