Kalgoorlie detectives investigate reports man tried to grab girl off scooter on way to school
Kalgoorlie detectives are investigating reports a man tried to grab a girl off her scooter as she rode to school on Thursday morning.
In a text message sent to parents on Thursday afternoon, St Mary’s Primary School principal Elizabeth Browner said a student from another school was riding a scooter to school when a man tried to grab her.
Police confirmed they were investigating reports of a man approaching a young girl between 8am and 8.10am and behaving in a “suspicious manner” on Wilson Street near Brookman Street.
Inquiries are being made and detectives are seeking the public’s assistance for information.
The man is described as being dark-skinned and wearing a black-coloured top and cap.
Anyone who was in the area between 8am and 8.15am who saw a girl on a scooter or any interaction between her and a man, or who has CCTV or dash-cam vision of the area is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
South Kalgoorlie Primary School principal Kath Grant sent a letter to parents regarding reports of a man acting suspiciously towards a student on their way to school.
She urged all children to take care when going to and from school, and to report anything suspicious to their parents, the school, and the police.
She gave safety suggestions such as advising children to travel in a group, to walk on the right-hand side of the road to face oncoming traffic, and to stay in areas that were well lit and in view.
