<p><strong>Police in Haringey Borough are investigating allegations that a man has approached a number of school girls in Hornsey on Monday, 18 January and attempted to convince them he was a police officer.</strong></p>
<p>Between 08:00hrs and 09:00hrs, three school girls, aged between 11 and 14 years-old were approached by a man in a number of locations in the Hornsey area.</p>
<p>At this early stage of our enquiries the allegations are being treated as attempted abductions.</p>
<p>All three girls have been spoken to by police, also spoken to relevant schools.</p>
<p>None of the girls were injured and the investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p>Reassurance patrols are being carried out in the area.</p>
<p>The man was not wearing a police uniform but it is understood he identified himself as a police officer.</p>
<p>He is described as black, aged between 20-30 years-old and of medium build. He had short dark hair and was wearing a jacket with the hood up.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Inspector Jude Beehag-Fisher, from Haringey Borough, said:</strong></p>
<p>"It would be unusual for police officers in plain clothes not to identify themselves by showing a warrant card, and members of the public are entitle to ask to see one.</p>
<p>"Any child approached by someone in the street, in similar circumstances to these incidents, that are not shown any identification that they the person is a police officer, should get away from them as quickly as possible, they should shout for help and make sure they tell a parent, teacher or other person in authority as soon as possible. In an emergency always dial 999."</p>
<p>Anyone with information about the incidents can call police in Haringey via 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org.
