Adding to this, the team also reported four drivers for taking an illegal left turn on on Brunswick Road, an offence that was earlier highlighted by local councillor Jack Caldwell after saying in just ten minutes, he witnessed seven drivers making the same turn.

He added that the drivers were in danger of running down school pupils at a nearby primary as the no left turn signs were being 'ignored'. Police say they caught a further four drivers making the same mistake.
