Park prowler

A 12-YEAR-OLD boy has told police that he had to hide in a park after he saw a man following him along Heatherton Road, Noble Park, last week.
Police have released a FACE image of a man who is claimed to have followed the child for up to 300 metres about 3.15pm on Wednesday 9 September.
During the pursuit, the man allegedly asked the boy inappropriate questions.

He was wearing a white turban, black pants, a light grey jumper and carrying a red backpack with red stripes or fastenings.
