In a post on their Facebook page on February 18, Police Causeway Coast and Glens said: “Police are aware, there have been recent posts on social media regarding reports of a suspicious male in the Coleraine area.
"In response the mobile Police Station is being deployed. If you see it parked up, please stop and report any concerns or information you may have.”
