A second Auckland school is reporting a potential attempted abduction, just days after a
similar incident in south Auckland
.
Kaurilands School in Titirangi says one of its students was approached by a woman in a car on their way into school on Wednesday morning, asking if he wanted a ride.
"He did all the right things and told her no thank you, continued walking and reported it to an adult," the school said in a note to parents.
It comes just days after bystanders intervened when a man
tried to get a boy into a car
while he was walking home from Rowandale School.
"Please talk to your children about what to do in situations such as these and report any suspicious behaviour," the Kaurilands School statement said, adding the incident has been reported to police.
RNZ has approached police for comment.
