The shaken woman, who did not want to give her name, described how her pursuer tailed her as she turned ‘multiple times’ - even going in circles to be sure of her suspicions.

Eventually the scared female driver realised with a shock that the following driver had pursued her onto the street where she lives during the ‘creepy’ ordeal on Sunday at about 6.40pm.

The pair pulled up, allowing the truck - a silver Nissan with its rear bed uncovered - to pass and followed to see what its driver was up to.

However as soon as he realised he was being followed he ‘sped-off’ but the two friends caught up with him - spooking him when a flash went off as they took pictures.

The worried female driver said: “We decided to follow him to see where he was heading and make him think twice about whatever his intentions were.

“After he went past us and the house he went out of view so we waited a minute so we could follow him at a distance - then we saw him literally pulled up waiting at the top of the hill and when he saw we were behind him he put his foot down.”

After the women had caught up with the truck again and scared its driver off by photographing him they made their way home - making sure he wasn’t following.

The female driver said: “It was creepy - nerve-wracking - and made us wonder what his intentions were.”

Worryingly, the scared driver told how she had spoken to five other women who reported being followed by the same truck - three of them in the same area.

The truck driver is described as a large man in his late 40s or early 50s - however because it was dark a detailed description was not possible.

Neighbourhood Inspector Neil Bellamy said: “We would encourage anyone who has experienced what they believe is suspicious behaviour to call us so it can be investigated.”
