Mr McKinnon said a man drove the alleged offender to Waterfall Rd, near the Point Lookout Rd intersection, before he was arrested by police.
“Police were advised by a member of the public that there was a male walking along a road,” he said.
“We’re unsure at this stage how he got from that location to where he walked, but it’s certainly a distance that could be walked over a number of hours.”
