Police Constable James Addison said: “The parked Ford Focus sustained considerable damage and I believe the suspect vehicle would be as badly damaged, specifically to its front nearside area.

“We are looking to speak to anyone who saw this collision and who may have information that can assist with our inquiries.

“Anyone with information is asked to please contact us on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
