Unhappy neighbour

Police abuse
AN off-duty police officer was verbally abused as they were walking to work last month.
The male offender was seated in the passenger seat of his mother’s car, driving in Victoria Street, on May 16.
He yelled out using obscene language and abused the off-duty police officer who was on their way to work.
The officer has since been issued a penalty notice to the offender.
