Phantom pothole filler who took law into own hands is hunted by Highway chiefs

A phantom pothole filler who took the law into their own hands by carrying out DIY road repair is being hunted by Highway chiefs.

The work was carried out by a mystery volunteer in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, who decided to patch up a road which has been closed since the beginning of April.

But now Cornwall Highways have said that it was done without "consent" and the road would be closed again while they want help from the public in finding the culprit, Cornwall Live reports.
