Police are increasing patrols in Kilrea, Rasharkin, and Dunloy after a video surfaced of a man dressed entirely in yellow attire. The incident was reported by Gerard McFerran, who questioned the man about his unusual clothing. While social media reports claim the man was armed, McFerran denies this, stating the man appeared strange but not threatening.
Police are carrying out proactive patrols in the Kilrea area of Co Derry after a video emerged of a suspicious 'yellow man'. The video was taken by Gerard McFerran after he spotted the man on the Vow Road at around 12.30am on December 27, as he questioned the man about why he was dressed in a long yellow coat, with yellow trousers and boots.
