A man who allegedly tried to entice three children into a car as they came home from school has been arrested and charged in Perth's north eastern suburbs.

The children, who are all under the age of 13, were approached in separate incidents between 2.40pm and 3.00pm on September 22 in Ellenbrook.

As they were making their way home they were allegedly approached by a man enticing them into a car, WA Police allege.

The children did not enter the vehicle and reported what had happened to police.

A 19-year-old man was later located by police at a home in Ellenbrook and charged with three counts of breach of protective bail conditions.

He is due in Midland Magistrates Court on October 7.

The series of incidents remain under investigation by detectives from the Child Abuse Squad.

Police have urged anyone who spotted a man driving a grey Toyota Camry in the areas around Ellenbrook or The Vines, specifically around Stanbury Crescent and Delapre Rd, to contact police.
