#BREAKING: Police called to Double Bay after residents spot ute on public holiday

OVERTIME: There was a rare ute sighting in Double Bay today on the King’s Birthday long weekend.

A white Toyota Hilux was spotted on Bay Street, clearly out of place among rows of expensive sports cars and SUVs.

“What is that ute doing here?” yelled one confused onlooker. “It’s not even a work day?!”

Police were called to investigate.

“We’re urging everyone to remain calm, we understand this is a suspicious situation,” says Detective Inspector Steve Forrest from Rose Bay police.

“We interviewed the driver, a tradie who said he’s just doing some emergency plumbing repairs at a house nearby.”

“But either way, we will continue to patrol the area.”

Witnesses say the ute left the area shortly after 11.20am, allowing several residents to safely return to their long lunches.
