Man, 34, charged with attempted kidnapping after 'children were approached at splash pad'
Police arrested a man after he allegedly approached multiple children at a public splash pad. Moynul Janu, 34, of no fixed abode, has been charged with two counts of attempted kidnapping following several incidents at Victoria Park in Cardiff, The Sun reported. South Wales Police were called after concerns were raised about Mr Janu's behaviour at the aquatic play area. He is accused of approaching several children, with police calling for witnesses who may have seen anything to come forward. Parents also raised fears that Janu had been secretly photographing and videoing their children in the park. However, officers did not find any recording devices upon searching him. The splash pad, which originally opened in 2016, was delayed in reopening this summer due to a wait on the delivery of parts from Italy, WalesOnline reported. However, the play area was reportedly functional again by the end of May, with Cardiff Council officially announcing it on June 3. The splash pad is in a Grade II-listed park in Canton in west Cardiff and has 33 features for children to experience, including sprays, jets, a giant tipping water bucket and a tunnel. A South Wales Police spokesperson said: 'Just before midday on Thursday, July 3, officers attended Victoria Park, Cardiff, following a number of calls which raised concerns about a man's behaviour in the splash park area. 'Moynul Janu, 34, of no fixed abode has been charged with two counts of attempted kidnap and two counts of public order and has been remanded in police custody. 'Some people were concerned he had been taking photographs or recording children, but we can confirm when officers searched him, he was not in possession of any such devices. 'Anybody who may have information about the incident or who noticed something suspicious is urged to make contact. 'Please give reference 2500210810.'
