“We do not believe there is any connection with the reports, and no physical harm has been caused but we understand that people may feel alarmed should they read posts on social media.
“We would encourage members of the public to continue to report suspicious incidents to police, and if possible make a note of any information which could help, such as time frames, vehicle registration numbers or descriptions so that enquiries can be made.”
