Sergeant Katy Townhill said: “I am appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at time to get in touch. In particular, any motorists with dash cams travelling in that area are asked to check their footage as they may have images of the VW Golf which could assist the investigation. Any small piece of information could prove vital as we work to identify those involved.”
