"I would also ask anyone who has private CCTV to check the footage for anything of significance which may assist our enquiries. If you were driving in the area and your car is equipped with a dashcam I would also ask you to check the footage too.
"Patrols will be carried out by uniformed officers in the area to provide reassurance while we continue with our investigation."
