Police are launching an inquiry to help establish the exact circumstances of an incident that saw a man approached a young child on Aberdeen’s beachfront.
It’s reported a man in his 30s approached the youngster as they played outside a property in the Beach Boulevard area, near Brunswick Stores, at around 3.10pm on Wednesday.
DC Emma Low said: “I must stress that the youngster involved was not hurt or affected in anyway, but his mother felt it was the right thing to do to contact police to make us aware as she didn’t know for sure what this man’s intentions were.
“We have been carrying out extensive enquiries since to establish exactly what happened and I would ask anyone who was in the area around the time in question and thinks they have information which could help to please get in touch. “
She added: “In particular if you saw a white man described as being between 30 to 35-years-old, with light-coloured hair, around 5ft 9in and of a larger build. He had a local accent and was wearing an orange hoodie, grey tracksuit bottoms, white trainers and was carrying a blue plastic bag.
“I would also ask that if you recognise yourself to be this man, please make contact with us as soon as possible so we can speak to you.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
