Speed camera detectors selling fast

PROMINENT figures from the business and music worlds are among hundreds of people who have bought illegal speed camera detection devices to thwart the road-safety campaign launched earlier this week.

Armagh-based company Speed Camera Defence says it has received more than 500 orders in the last week alone from people on this side of the border willing to pay up to £2,000 (€2,340) for equipment that will forewarn them that they are approaching one of the new mobile speed cameras which began operation on Monday.

“We have been extremely busy this week and have sold over 500 units,” said Wayne Lyons of Speed Camera Defence. “This week we have sold equipment to very prominent business men and women and famous music artists, both of which most people have heard of.”
