Children approached by stranger in Trondheim prompting school warning

Two children returning home from an after-school program were reportedly approached by a man attempting to lure them into a vehicle on Tuesday. The individual allegedly tempted them with chocolate. The incident has been reported, prompting a school in Trondheim to issue a serious warning to parents and guardians. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

As of now, the perpetrator remains unidentified, according to the police prosecutor for the Trøndelag district. The children’s parents were the first to alert the school. Thankfully, the boys did not engage with the man and quickly left the area, returning home safely. The school has urged vigilance among families.

School officials have expressed grave concern over this event, emphasizing its serious nature. This incident follows a pattern of similar occurrences in Trondheim, including a recent case on Fannrem where children were also approached by a stranger in a vehicle.

In September, two other children faced similar attempts to be lured into a car in Trondheim. The school’s principal hopes the police will consider all these events as interconnected in their investigation. Parents have expressed significant worry, noting that these episodes are instilling fear among students.

The suspect in Tuesday’s approach was described as an older man with light hair, driving a black vehicle. The police are requesting assistance from the public for any information regarding the vehicle or sightings related to the case.
