A man in a silver Audi has been offering bouncy balls to small children in Penryn, parents have been warned.

In a Facebook post to parents of children at Penryn Primary Academy, a warning was given about the "elderly" man, and families were asked to make sure children know not to approach the car "under any circumstances."

The school said: "We will have an assembly to educate the children on the matter but if you could further the message at home that would help highlight how important it is.

"Please share so that others in the area can warn their children."
