“I would ask anyone who has any information that will assist this enquiry and identify the registration, or driver of the blue Seat Arona, to come forward and contact police on 101, quoting incident number 3371 of 22/07/2026.

“I would also ask anyone who was in the area at this time and has a dash cam fitted to their vehicle, to review footage.”
