An unknown man has been offering lollies to children near school grounds in southern Tasmania, with police urging parents and community members to be on alert. The man has reportedly been speaking to children near school grounds after school hours in recent days, Detective Inspector Craig Joel said. He has also been seen driving a white van. Joel said the man’s intentions are “unclear” but police are investigating.

Joel urged community members to look out for unusual vehicles parked near schools or other locations “where children congregate”, and to report any concerning sightings to police. “Parents, carers and other community members can help us by keeping a look out for vehicles parked in unusual places, and telling someone if they see suspicious activity such as an adult trying to stop and speak with children in unsupervised areas,” he said.
