“Our investigation is already underway and we are doing everything in our power to establish exactly what happened and to catch the person or persons responsible.
“We are asking for information: This incident occurred near the busy junction with Southmoor Road, where there are several businesses and homes, so it is very likely that members of the public leaving work, traveling or coming home heard something of importance.
