A school in Lincoln has issued a warning to students after a bald man allegedly stopped and had inappropriate conversations with people in the area.
St Peter and St Paul Catholic Voluntary Academy on Western Avenue in Lincoln said police have been into the school to warn of a suspicious character in the area.
Police said they have been into Lincoln schools after two incidents on January 22 and extra patrols are in place around school times. Local schools have been informed.
One incident refers to a man asking a 16-year-old boy if he wanted to buy meat, which happened on Westwick Drive at around 3.20pm. Police said this has been recorded as suspicious activity.
On the same day at around 3.10pm, a man asked an 11-year-old girl to get into his car on Moorland avenue.
Police said the man in both incidents is bald with a tattoo on his neck and is believed to have been driving a white Hyundai.

Police said the man was in a white transit van with blue stripes on it.
Any reports of incidents of a similar nature should be made to police by calling 101 and quoting reference 344 of January 27.

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
