The PSNI is actively investigating sightings of a mysterious yellow man in Kilrea, urging the public to avoid speculation.
A local named Gerard McFerran saw him on Vow Road late at night. He even filmed a video asking why the guy was dressed in a bright yellow coat, yellow pants, and boots, topped off with a white mask and black wig. Quite a sight, right?
Some folks online thought he might be armed, but Gerard didn’t see any weapon. He thinks that’s just speculation.
After the sighting, police ramped up patrols in Kilrea and nearby areas. They’ve also heard reports of the yellow man being seen in Portglenone.
So far, they’ve talked to several witnesses, but they still haven’t found him. The police are asking everyone to stop spreading rumors on social media. It’s making kids in the area really anxious.
A spokesperson from the PSNI said they’re aware of the buzz online but stressed that unverified claims only add to the fear. They want everyone to think before posting anything that could cause panic.
The police are committed to keeping the community safe and will continue their patrols. If anyone sees something suspicious, they should reach out to local officers.
