A MAN has been reportedly taking photographs of children in a Kidderminster park.
Since February 10, police have confirmed they have received five reports relating to suspicious behaviour which includes girls being followed and approached by a man and a man taking photographs of children in Brinton Park.
No one has been arrested in relation to the incidents.
Last week, Kidderminster Safer Neighbourhood Team said it "is aware of recent comments on social media around an alleged incident in Comberton Road, on Friday, February 11, involving a teenage girl."

But they had not been able to substantiate any reports.
Now, in a post on Facebook, Wyre Forest Police said they wanted to clarify their previous statement as they ‘are aware there has been a lot of speculation’ on social media.
