Police are investigating a report of suspicious activity involving a woman in a vehicle and a school child in Newtownabbey.

The PSNI has encouraged people not to engage in online speculation about the incident in the Jubilee Way area on Monday morning.

A spokesperson said: “We received a report at around 8.10am in relation to an interaction between a woman in a vehicle and a school child.

“We take every report of this nature very seriously and would like to reassure the local community that our officers investigate each one thoroughly.

“We’re aware of some online speculation regarding this morning’s report and would encourage people not to engage in this, as it is unhelpful and the facts can often become distorted.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 219 of 06/10/25.
