Masked perv offered little Dublin girls money 'to do things' and wouldn't let them leave when they refused

A sick man offered two little Dublin girls 'money for sexual favours' and wouldn't let them leave when they refused in a frightening northside attack on Friday night.

The creep approached the two school kids in the Westbrook area of Balbriggan at around 9pm who were walking in the area alone together.

The perv, who was wearing a white mask, offered the pair "money to do things" and wouldn't let the girls out of sight when they said no.

They managed to escape the area and make it home safely but a warning has been issued to other residents.

Dublin Live understands that Gardai are investigating the sickening approach and have obtained the alleged attacker's details from the girls and their parents.

One of the youngster's mother said that her daughter was still very shaken days on from the attack.

The family said: "She was approached by a man in his 40s at around 8:30-9:00pm in the Westbrook area.

"He was wearing a white mask and navy jacket and dark clothing and had tanned skinned.

"He was offering them money to do things and was not letting the girls leave when they wouldn't.

"They got home safe but I just wanted to make everyone aware and to be careful.

They added: "The girls are still very shaken, it was reported to Gardai straight away and hopefully he will be caught and won't do it to anyone else."
