Gardaí probe suspicious approach to young girl in Convoy

Gardaí in Convoy, County Donegal, are investigating an alleged suspicious approach by a stranger to a young girl at Findrum at around 4.30pm on Friday 22 November 2024. The case record lists the victim as a woman, while the articles describe a young girl, and the suspect's sex, age and nationality are not given. DonegalLive first reported the probe on 26 November 2024, and Gardaí are appealing for the driver of a left-hand drive white Audi A6 with a foreign registration plate to come forward. No arrest or charge has been reported, and the latest development is that appeal, along with a request for dash-cam footage from road users.
