Police are appealing for information after reports of a child was approached by a man at Medowie.
About 5.40pm on Thursday, a seven-year-old boy was walking in
Willow Close, Medowie, when a man riding an orange and black motorbike pulled
up beside him.
Police have been told the male rider asked the boy to get on the bike. He
refused and walked away. The man then conducted a U-turn and drove out of
Willow Close in an unknown direction.
The incident was reported to officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police
District who commenced an investigation.
As inquiries continue, police would like to speak to a man who may be able
to assist with their inquiries.
The man is only described as having greyish coloured hair and wearing a
khaki-coloured back-pack.
Police are appealing to anyone who might have been in the Medowie area
yesterday and either saw the motorbike or has dash-cam footage, to come
forward.
Inquiries are continuing.
