'Terrifying ordeal'

“I would urge anyone who was in the local area on Friday evening to come forward if they think they may have seen persons matching the above descriptions or anything else suspicious.

“Likewise, I would be keen to hear about any vehicles which may have been seen entering or leaving the surrounding streets on Friday evening and any dashcam footage available from these vehicles.

"It might not have seemed important at the time, but the information could prove significant to our investigation.”
