Waikato Police are aware of an incident which took place in Hamilton last week where a young person was approached by an unknown male and offered a ride home.

We’re all responsible for keeping children safe in our families and communities, and it’s also important for children to know how to identify unsafe behaviour and what to do if they feel unsafe.
