"Mom is hurt"
Unknown man tries to lure students into his car
On several different days, a number of schoolchildren reported seeing an unknown man outside the Mary Ward School Center in St. Pölten who allegedly tried to lure them into his car. The police have stepped up surveillance and are urging anyone who sees anything suspicious to call the emergency number immediately.
Parents of children who attend the Mary Ward School Center in St. Pölten are currently very concerned. Within two days, several children were reportedly approached by a man there. The police confirmed two reports to the "Krone" newspaper.
The two boys, who attend different schools in the complex, both reported a bald man who tried to lure them into his car and was also said to have been on the school grounds. He promised one child candy and told the other that his mother was injured and he had to take him with him.
Notify the police immediately
The police have confirmed the reports and are currently stepping up their surveillance of the school. At the same time, they are appealing to parents: "Please tell your children that they should report such incidents to a teacher immediately. Then we can respond right away."
Please tell your children that they should report such incidents to a teacher immediately.
Appell der Exekutive
Although the two students from St. Pölten did the right thing and ignored the man, in both cases they only told their parents about it hours later at home. The schools have also already responded. They are in close contact with the police and are teaching children in class how to deal with such situations correctly.
A similar incident is believed to have occurred in Maria Lanzendorf:
Two more cases in Lower Austria
The small community of Maria Lanzendorf near Vienna also warned the population in a Facebook post on Tuesday. Near the route to the elementary school and the Lanzendorf after-school care center, a person dressed in black is said to have offered a child toys and sweets. Parents and children in the area are being urged to exercise increased caution.
Shortly before Christmas, there was also a warning in Velm in the municipality of Himberg: a man dressed in women's clothing is said to have approached a girl there and tried to persuade her to get into his car.
