DILLIGAF Posted October 15, 2017 Report Posted October 15, 2017 Wonder if this is linked to the man that prowls whitecross rd, that so many have complained about? Quote
Ubique Posted October 16, 2017 Report Posted October 16, 2017 I understand from the HT that a man has been arrested .......... I do feel that the Police have given out to much information relating to this serious incident, relating to both the apparent offender and the apparent victim . ( I will not elaborate further on my thoughts .) Quote
