Child approached in Lake Macquarie made a false report

BY SARAH BARONOWSKI AND TYLER FARDELL

Police have determined the 12-year-old boy who claimed he was approached by a stranger in Swansea yesterday made a false report.

The boy alleged a strange man approached him outside Swansea high school and made him feel uncomfortable.

However, he later admitted to making the story up.

The boy will be spoken to by a youth liaison officer and will likely receive an informal caution.
