🔔 **Stay Alert: Safety First in Caerphilly!** 🔔
Hey Caerphilly folks, here’s a quick update about some recent concerns making rounds in our community. Schools around the borough have been sharing advice after reports surfaced about “strangers” approaching children after school hours. Although this sounds alarming, let’s break it down for a clearer picture.
In Trethomas, there was an isolated report earlier this week. The incident involved a man in a white van who reportedly offered a child a lift. The child declined, and the man drove away without any contact. Quick update: the driver has been identified and he’s cooperating with Gwent Police. No offences have been reported as of now, so let’s keep calm.
**Police Advice:**
– Parents, try to pick up your kids this week if you can.
– Kids, if faced with a suspicious situation, remember these steps:
– Call 999 immediately.
– Find a safe space.
– If you can, note down any vehicle details safely.
Chief Superintendent Jason White assures us there’s no cause for widespread concern. The police are on top of it, monitoring the situation closely and working with local schools and families.
Let’s stay smart! Keep reminding children about ‘stranger danger’ and stay connected with your community for any updates. If something seems off, don’t hesitate to reach out to the local police. They’re here for us 24/7.
We’re all in this together, so let’s keep an eye out and support each other! Stay safe, everyone. 💙
