Police in the North East are appealing for information after a 12-year-old girl was injured in a hit and run attack last week.

The incident took place at around 11.20am on Saturday 18 June on Forgue Road, Rothienorman.

The driver of a dark-coloured car did not stop at the scene after the young girl sustained minor injuries.

Enquiries to trace the driver of the car are ongoing and officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Constable Harris, of Formartine Community Policing Team, said: “Thankfully, the girl was not seriously injured but was left extremely shaken by the incident.

“We are asking for anyone who was in the area around the time of the crash, or anyone with dash cam footage which could assist, to please get in touch.

“I would also encourage the driver of the car to contact officers.

“Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 1252 of 18 June.”
