Police are appealing for information after reports of suspicious behaviour by a woman on the Central Coast over the weekend.
Police have been told two five-year-old boys were sitting on the sand at Pearl Beach about 11am on Sunday 27 December 2020, when they were approached by an older woman.
The woman, described as having short grey hair and wearing pink-coloured clothing and blue shorts, approached the boys, grabbed them by the arms and told them she was going to take them home with her.
The boys managed to break free and told their father, who was nearby.
The incident was reported to officers from Brisbane Water Police District, who commenced an investigation.
As inquiries continue, police are appealing to anyone who might have been on the beach on Sunday and witnessed the incident, to come forward.
The beach was reported to be crowded at the time, and there were unconfirmed reports that there were a number of opportunistic thefts of unattended property by unknown people. Police are also keen to hear of any thefts which could be related.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
