A school has issued a warning to parents after pupils were allegedly approached by two men in a Ford Focus on two separate incidents.
St John Fisher Catholic High School in Wigan, Greater Manchester, said the pupils were approached by the men on Sunday evening and Monday morning.
The school has urged pupils to be vigilant and remain in groups if possible, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The warning, posted on the school's Facebook page, reads: "IMPORTANT: STRANGER DANGER: We have been notified by a parent that two Asian men in a silver ford focus have approached one of our pupils this morning and also yesterday evening at the bottom of Baytree Road.
"The pupil is absolutely fine but we have given this message to all our pupils this afternoon and reminded them to be vigilant and to stay in groups if possible.
"The incident has been reported to the police."
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: "Officers were called at around 9.15am on Monday (20 September 2021) to a report that a boy had been approached by two men earlier in the day.
"The boy - aged 15 - was walking along Baytree Road, Wigan, at around 7.45am when he was approached by the two men who were in a car.
"Further enquiries have also established that the men had approached the boy the previous day (19 September) on Scot Lane at around 8.45 pm.
"The boy was not harmed and an investigation is ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"Our enquiries have established that the incident does not relate to the ongoing situation in Standish.
"No arrests have been made.
"Anyone with information should contact police quoting incident 768 of 20/9/21. Information can be reported online or by using the Live Chat function at www.gmp.police.uk. If you can't report online, call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
It comes after the Metropolitan Police increased patrols and warned parents after four separate reports of children being followed in south-east London at the end of April.
One of the boys, aged 11, was asked by a man in a black van on Whitmore Road in Beckenham if he wanted a lift, while an eight-year-old was approached in the nearby wooded area of Kelsey Park.
The 11-year-old is the son of Line of Duty star Sherise Blackman, who told how the youngster "sensed danger" when he was approached and was left "shaken up".
The Met received another report of a male school pupil being followed by a man along a street on the previous day.
A “lack of similarities” with the incident indicated it was not linked with the first two reports, the force said.
