A man has been arrested after a ten-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl were approached and followed in Ystrad Mynach.

The incident happened when the girls were walking along Commercial Road at around 8.30am on Wednesday, November 6.

The man reportedly tried to engage the girls in conversation before following them for “a short distance”.

He has since been released under investigation.

Sergeant Emma Sowrey, of Gwent Police’s Caerphilly North local neighbourhood policing team, said: “While this incident was distressing for the children involved, they were not harmed in any way.”
