Police investigations are underway, however initial enquiries suggest CCTV has not caught the incident. This is where we need your help to identify the vehicle. Do you have Dash Cam or did you witness the incident? If you did, your piece of the jigsaw could assist Police to identify the driver.

“If however you are the driver, then please make yourself known to Police as it is very likely we will be knocking your door soon,” the PSNI said.
