A MAN is suspected to have been taking photographs of schoolchildren in Bewdley.

The incident happened last Monday, at the Bewdley School and Sixth Form at around 3.20pm.

Students walking from the school on a public footpath opposite the leisure centre spotted a man possibly taking photographs through the open window of a light green saloon which was parked there. It was reported to police the following day.

The man was described as white, in his 40s, with greying medium length brown hair and wearing round glasses. He did not attempt to speak to any of the students.

PC Robin Piper said: "There may be a totally innocent explanation as to why the man was there and what he was doing and we would ask the person involved or anyone who has any information that could help us to call us on 08457 444888."
