A warning has been shared with parents after a child was allegedly followed into their home.
Sefton Council sent details about the incident to schools in the borough, so that teachers could then make parents aware. The incident involved a junior school child who was playing out near their home.
A man, between the age of 25 to 35, was then reported to have followed the child into their house, asking to borrow a phone charger. The man was then told to leave by the parent.
