I was in Tramore last Saturday afternoon and was driving along the prom and let a car out in front of me. I soon realised it was some weirdo who was driving dangerously veering in and out, only one brake light, stopping suddenly etc. driving slowly then taking off then slowing down again.

He passed a small group of girls aged 12 - 14 and just stopped dead in the road, started fixing his hair and calling the girls over to him but they didn't go near him so he pulled off after people started blowing their horns.

Then about 100 yards further along he saw 2 boys and 2 girls aged around 10 - 13 years and again just stopped in traffic and was leering at them. He continued driving up to the roundabout (the one with the boat in it) went the full way around it then back into Tramore towards splashworld.

I went straight to the garda station and reported it. I wonder if it was connected to this case.

Fair play to you for spotting it and reporting it, We don't need this kind of scum around..

Fair play to ya! You never know, you could have saved some kid from a lot of nastiness!!

When you see this sort of thing you're thinking wtf but I had 2 teenage boys with me who were shocked to actually see this happening. I was able to give description of the car, reg. no. etc.

I didn't hear anything but I didn't expect to but I wasn't taking chances and not report it.

Fair play to you for reporting it. Did the police take you seriously/ were they concerned?

allthedoyles

Do you really think the Gardai would let you know if they were taking it serious / look concerned ?

It was suspicious activity , and definately reporting it was the right thing to do .

Well done deisemum -

There was a guy doing this in Wexford area some years ago and he was never caught , so you never know ..............

The garda took it seriously, took all details that we could provide and was to send the squad car down to the prom area. He took my details as well. It was an old grey banger.

Don't be so tough on yourself.



Fair play to you though. Anyone see anything like that they should ring straight away.

The guy in Offaly was driving a post office type van -

You may find in the long run that it may have been best if you did not give your own details .

This was not necessary ..

But, if they need a witness to his behaviour they wont be able to contact deise. A lot of reports that people wont give their name for, I believe anyway, are not followed up on (Read it in the Emergency Services forum) because its pointless.

Her information is kept confidential. Its no harm in supplying it.

Its only from my own experience , that in my view , it is best not to give your own details .

They will ask , and it is obligatory of course .

But well done , anything suspicious like your situation is best reported .
