Schoolchildren were left "upset and frightened" after people in a white van wearing clown masks offered them lefts. A school has alerted parents and said any sightings of the van over the Easter holidays should be reported to the police.
In one incident reported to police, a child was asked if they wanted a ride. In another, a pupil on their way to school was left 'upset and frightened' by the occupants of a van who were wearing 'clown-like' masks.
