I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity at the time of the incident to come forward with any information they might have. I would also urge the driver of the car, if they see this appeal, to get in touch with us at the earliest opportunity.”

Anyone with information can contact PC Derek Scott on 01282 472481 or alternatively they can call police on 101 quoting log 1955 of 26th December.
