This was sent to me by a resident in Wesley Street *"I saw a car that may fit the description of that used by the criminals ,driving down Wesley street either yesterday or the day before. *
*I'm not totally certain of it being the car in question, but what raised my suspicion was it driving slowly down Wesley street in Mowbray direction, possibly Sunday night about 21:30 or so, but my memory of the exact time is sketchy.* *The car I saw was a Honda Ballade (I think) I guess from the mid nineties. As far as I can remember was a metallic green . A car like this could be mistaken for a corolla of similar vintage.* *This might be a shot in the dark and unrelated to the incident, but as I have said was driving slowly and don't recognise the car as belonging to any of the residents in the vicinity."* >From this and other info received, we may be looking a bottle blue coloured (this could be blueish / green) Toyota Carolla or Honda older model.
