A school has issued a warning to parents after a pupil was allegedly "inappropriately" approached by a man earlier this week. Lliswerry High School on Somerton Road, Newport, wrote to parents on Thursday, April 7, saying one of its pupils was approached by a man "acting inappropriately on the pedestrian footbridge from the Glan Llyn estate to the Tesco store in Spytty".
Headteacher Neil Davies claimed the incident happened on Wednesday and that police had been informed and would be increasing patrols in the area. It is the third incident involving a pupil at the school allegedly being approached by a stranger in recent months.
In November last year the school and Gwent Police issued statements after a man reportedly approached a teenage girl on her way home from school on Somerton Road and "attempted to touch her arm and hair." Just a few days later a girl was left "traumatised" after she was allegedly approached by a man on the same road. You can read more about that incident here.
