Police have issued warning to the public to be cautious after a 13-year-old was approached by a stranger in a car in Crumlin.

“I would emphasise to children and teenagers not to enter an unknown vehicle under any circumstances. If you are approached by a stranger asking you to enter a vehicle, please report it to police or tell a parent/ teacher straight away.”
