Is this a case of potential overreaction, or better safe than sorry?
We’re talking about a situation yesterday where police got the call to investigate a report of a suspicious man and woman talking to a young girl who was waiting for the bus near her home on Victoria Road.
Police say the girl fell on a patch of ice while waiting for the bus. The man and woman, in their vehicle, asked if the girl was OK.
At no time did they leave their vehicle, or try to lure the girl, police say.
The girl’s family reported she was within their sight the entire time and they had no reason to believe she was in any danger.
But as a precaution, schools in the area were notified of the incident.
