Police are urging parents to remain calm after alleged reports of people acting suspiciously near children in Douglas.

They are investigating various unconfirmed reports which centre around people in a blue car who’ve been seen in the Spring Valley and Pulrose areas.

It’s also been alleged that the same car has been seen in Jurby.

Officers say at this time there is no basis to the reports but that they are keeping an open mind.

Inspector Mark Britton says while the Isle of Man is a safe place to live people should not be complacent:
