Wednesday afternoon at approx 4pm a dark grey small car driven by a woman turned from Arnold Street into Gordon (i.e. wrong way into the one-way). An ADT guy on a bicycle peddled furiously after her and they turned right into Lower Main Road. Seems likely it could be the same person. Does anyone have any further details of this? I was in the park with my dogs so was unable to follow them.
