“Our inquiries are ongoing and we are urging anyone with information or who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area to come forward.
“We are particularly keen to speak with anyone who may have dashcam footage or private CCTV from the surrounding area that could assist with our inquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident 3838 of September 11, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
