Police are appealing for information after two girls were approached by a man near Wagga Wagga this morning.

About 10.30am (Sunday 24 August 2014), two girls, aged eight and 11, were at a playground on the intersection of Protea Place and Mangrove Crescent, Forest Hill.

Police have been told a dark-coloured, dual-cab utility containing four men and a child stopped near the park.

One of the men reportedly got out of the car and approached the girls, attempting to grab the younger one. Police believe she may have been on the roadway.

When the girls ran away, the man got back into the vehicle before it drove away.

The girls reported the incident to their parents, who in turn contacted police.

Detectives from Wagga Wagga Local Area Command would now like to speak with a man who may be able to assist with inquiries.

The man has been described as being aged in his late teens or early 20s, with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt.
