About 11am on Sunday that a boy was in the front yard of a home in Waddell Street when a man stopped and spoke to him, asking several questions.

As the child’s mother came into the yard the man walked away.

Police from Canobolas Local Area Command now wish to speak with a man they believe can assist with their inquiries into the incident.

He’s described as being of Caucasian appearance with a thin build, about 183cm tall, aged about 60, balding with grey hair.

At the time he was wearing glasses, dark clothing and was carrying a shopping bag.
