A PROWLER is on the loose in the Bayville, St Michael area.

The would-be burglar has been terrorising the district for the last three weeks, and on Wednesday night he struck again.

Residents began sounding the alarm in earnest from Wednesday, warning neighbours to lock their doors and windows, keep emergency numbers handy, install security lights and stay alert for the culprit moving around on a bicycle.

There are also plans for a meeting, which is to be addressed by police from Hastings Police Station.
