Detective Sergeant Mitchell Leach said: "Thankfully members of the public have been forthcoming with information and supportive of police efforts, but we believe this dirty red or dark coloured small hatchback with roof bars may hold the key to determining who is responsible for this serious offence. It’s imperative that we trace the vehicle and apprehend the offender.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 1169 of April 18, 2018. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
