Police are seeking information from the public after a 12-year-old newspaper delivery boy was approached by an unknown occupant of a white van.
The boy was at the Fitzherbert Ave shopping centre carpark around 6am yesterday when a man emerged from a white van and approached him.
A second man stayed inside the vehicle.
On seeing the unknown man approaching, the boy took off on his bike and continued with his paper round.
Whanganui police Senior Sergeant Shayne Wainhouse said nothing was said to the boy, and he was not touched, but they were trying to determine the motive of the men, if any.
