Mystery as Stockton cars behave oddly

The truth is out there!
Or at least a group of baffled drivers hope it is, following a morning of motoring mystery in Stockton.

Residents on Leam Lane, Bishopsgarth, woke last Wednesday to find their cars’ electrical systems behaving oddly.

“The central locking wouldn’t work on mine so I opened it manually but then the engine wouldn’t start.
