Police are investigating and schools are on alert after a girl was allegedly "indecently touched" by a stranger while walking to school.

Auckland schools, Onehunga Primary School and Oranga Primary School, were told by Royal Oak Primary School's principal Linley Myers, the girl was allegedly assaulted on Monday morning.

Viki Holley, Onehunga Primary School principal, told parents "a student of one of our neighbouring schools was indecently touched by a stranger" on Trafalgar St, heading into Manukau Rd. Holley said the school advised families to speak to their children about staying safe on the way to and from school. Read more here.
