“As part of our enquiries, we would like to appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch with us.

“We’re also asking anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us if they saw anything suspicious which could aid our investigation.

“The same goes for those with any CCTV, dashcam, or Ring doorbell footage."
