“Police were called around 9.05pm and I am continuing to urge anyone who may have seen anything in the area of Brookfield Road between 6pm and 11pm on Saturday, April 27 or who has any private CCTV or dashcam footage to please contact us.
“Even the slightest bit of information could help with our enquiries.
“The local community have been keen to assist and we would like to reassure them that officers remain in the area and anyone with concerns should speak to them.”
Anyone who holds any information that may assist in the inquiry is asked to contact 101 quoting reference number 3680 of Saturday, April 27, 2024.
