Man arrested

A 56-year-old man has been arrested for approaching two teenage girls in Umina on Wednesday, July 4.

Two 13-year-olds were approached by the male at West St, Umina, at about 3.30pm.

He made a number of sexually inappropriate and explicit comments to the girls.

The teenagers left the area and reported the incident to their parents who then proceeded to flag down a nearby police vehicle.

Police patrolled the area soon after and located the male in question.

He was subsequently spoken to and arrested, and has been formally charged with intimidation.

He was granted conditional bail to appear at Woy Woy local court in early August.
