Police in Perth are appealing for witnesses after threatening comments were made to three children in the city.
At around 6pm on September 13, a male made threatening comments to a boy and girl, aged nine, and a 13-year-old boy, who were playing in the wooded area near to the crematorium.
The suspect then made off from the area and the children reported the matter police.
He is described by police as white, in his late teens with thin with pale skin and dark circles under his eyes.
He had a long fringe hairstyle with purple highlights and was wearing a black hooded top.
Constable Neil Aitkenhead from Perth Police Station said: “While none of the children were injured during this incident, they were left understandably distressed.
“We are keen to trace the suspect as soon as possible and anyone who recognises him is urged to contact police immediately.
“Likewise, anyone with any further information relevant to our ongoing investigation should also get in touch.”
Inquiries are ongoing to identify this individual, and anyone who can assist officers is asked to come forward.
Anyone with information should call 101 and quote incident number 3461 of September 13. Alternatively, an anonymous report can be made to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
