“I have no doubt people will be concerned by this incident and understandably so but I want to assure local residents that we are have launched an investigation.
“We are quickly working through a number of lines of enquiry today to try to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and as a result people may notice an increased police presence.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who can help us establish that picture of exactly what happened – particularly with regards to a light coloured Vauxhall Corsa which was seen at the incident and may have been involved.
“I would ask that anybody with information contacts police immediately.”
Anybody with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident number 2075 of 09/08/17, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
