He added: “We do want to urge residents not to engage any subject based the schools notification.”
Police said information put out by the school, which suggested a 57-year-old man was behaving in a concerning manner and fled when confronted, was incorrect. The note to parents from the school said there were various reports of what was happening, but “it is evident that he was up to no good.”
