Relief as baffling noise in Springfield area is silenced

Several residents in Springfield suffered a sleepless night on Saturday after a mysterious noise similar to a gunshot repeatedly reverberated around the area.

The blasts began shortly after 9 pm and continued at regular intervals until the early hours.

Several residents reported hearing the noise, and one neighbour – father-of-two Richard Pearce – even phoned the States police and took to the streets in the early hours in an attempt to solve the mystery.
