“On Saturday, 22 May, a cold and quiet day, I heard tapping on metal from my flat in Glenwood at midday,12:37. There was a man dressed in black clothes with a hoodie outside Berea Primary School in Berea Road in the fast lane. He was walking and knocking out the horizontal 3m steel barrier poles. He carried the poles, one by one over, the bridge towards Cato Road and I could not see if he went up or down Berea Road,” said O’ Donoghue.
