Niagara Regional Police are trying to reassure children following several reports of creepy clown sightings over the past 24 hours.
Constable Phil Gavin filmed a 30 second video telling children that no one has been hurt by clowns in Niagara and if they are scared they should talk to an adult they trust.
The video follows reports of clown sightings in the region.
A Facebook post shows pictures of a clown at the Welland Avenue Walmart in St. Catharines, allegedly chasing customers in the parking lot.
There are other reports of clown sightings in Welland and Niagara Falls.
NRP Constable Phil Gavin tells CKTB they are looking into the reports.
Unexplained Clown sightings have become a recent phenomenon in the United States.
