“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time who witnessed anything suspicious, or who has information that will assist this investigation to contact us through 101 quoting reference number 0574 of 23 October. “Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
