Residents fundraising for speed cameras to bust boy racers

From Checkpoint, 4:05 pm today

A group of Christchurch residents are so fed up with boy racers they're fundraising for speed cameras to collect evidence against those driving dangerously and waking residents in the dead of the night. At a public meeting last week Lyttleton Harbour residents decided to form a taskforce and raise money so they can hire a portable speed camera. It's hoped the camera will record data that could help police track down the culprits. There's concern some of the drivers are using the narrow roads between the bays as a race track. 72 year old Linda Purves is a community patrol volunteer and spoke to Lisa Owen.
