Indecent act in front of Melton pupils

Police are seeking information after a man performed a lewd act in front of primary school pupils at a Melton park last month.

A group of Coburn Primary School students were sitting on a bench when they noticed the man at a playground at the nearby Blackwood Drive Recreational Reserve, Reynolds Place, about 1pm on Thursday, February 23.

The children subsequently ran to a teacher in the schoolyard and saw the man leaving the area towards Richard Road.
