More children have reported being stopped by strangers in cars on Auckland's North Shore.
Hauraki School principal Clarinda Franklin said in today's newsletter she was "saddened" to report there had been three alleged suspicious approaches to children walking by themselves within a few days.
The most recent was that morning, when a 10-year-old student was walking on Ewen St, near the school in the North Shore suburb of Belmont.
"A vehicle pulled up alongside and the occupant then chased the girl who ran off," she said.
"This has been reported to police and is now in the hands of the CIB who are investigating.
