Honolulu police are seeking the public's help in identifying two men suspected of approaching children in Ewa Beach on Sept. 18 and Monday.

Three more Leeward Oahu incidents were reported this week where school children said they were approached or followed off elementary or middle school campuses in Ewa Beach and Waipahu — raising the total to six since Sept. 18.

The Department of Education said the latest  incident was reported Friday morning at Waipahu Intermediate School where three students walking to school on Hula Street noticed a man driving a white van was following them. The students continued to walk to school and reported the incident.

Thursday afternoon at  Kaneolani Elementary School in Waipio two students said  they were approached by a woman in a black truck after school that was parked off campus.

That same morning at Ewa Makai Middle School in Ewa Beach  a student walking in the area of Geiger Road and Kapolei Parkway was approached by a white van. The student ran away and the driver of the van drove off.

Three incidents were reported earlier.

On Sept. 18 , a man driving a white panel van approached a girl and her younger brother while they were walking home from Keoneula Elementary School on Keanui Drive.

A Waipahu Elementary School student was walking home about Sept. 19 when a man parked  on Waikele street tried to entice the student into the parked car. The student  ignored the man and reported the incident.

On Monday, a man approached a girl at 2:15 p.m. in a subdivision across from Holomua Elementary School.
