Northern Territory Police are reminding parents to talk to children about 'Stranger Danger' following reported incidents which occurred in the vicinity of the Darwin Sailing Club, Fannie Bay.

Major Crime Detectives are investigating an incident which occurred last night at approximately 7pm which may be related to another incident earlier in the week nearby.

A group of seven children aged between three and nine years of age were playing in a secure play area when they were approached through the fence by an unknown male.

The children went over to the male who has allegedly spoken to them before the children turned and ran away.

One of the children informed his parents immediately resulting in the alleged offender fleeing the area.

Following searches of the surrounding area, Police have been unable to locate anyone matching the description of the alleged offender.

He is described as Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years of age, skinny build and around 160cm tall.

He has short, wavy dark/black hair with no facial hair observed. He was wearing a dark green VB shirt with VB motif on the left breast, khaki shorts, socks and shoes.

Police are currently conducting further interviews and forensic testing and hope to prepare a comfit to further assist the investigation.

Major Crime Detective Senior Sergeant Jason Bradbury said while every effort will continue to find the alleged offender, this is a timely reminder for parents to reiterate the 'Stranger Danger' message to their children,

"It is important that any such incidents are reported to Police immediately and I would encourage all parents across the Territory to sit down with their children and remind them of the four 'R's:
Recognise the danger
Refuse any offer
Run away
Report it to the first person they feel safe with."

Anyone with information in relation to this incident or who may have seen someone matching the description in the Fannie Bay, Sailing Club area around 7pm last night should contact Police immediately on 131 444.
