Police are hoping to identify a mystery man after “concerning behaviour” outside an Auckland primary school.

A spokesperson said they needed the public’s help to identify the man who was pictured near Mt Roskill Primary School soon after the start of a school day in Term 2.

“We believe he may be able to assist us with our inquiries into concerning behaviour outside a school on Frost Rd, Mt Roskill, on Thursday, May 22, at about 9.10am,” said a police spokesperson.

They wanted to speak with anyone who was present at the school around this time and who might have seen anything out of the ordinary.

The man is pictured wearing a navy jacket with a white insignia on the left side of his chest and a grey baseball cap.

He also is wearing a white collared shirt underneath the jacket.

Mt Roskill Primary School, on Frost Rd, is part of the Mt Roskill school campus that also houses an intermediate and high school.
