In particular, we're working to locate the woman observed at the scene who had a dog and the man who was observed leaving the area. "We believe, at this time, this man and woman were travelling in the vehicle, and can assist us with our enquiries, however, we also want to check on their welfare as we believe they may have sustained injuries.
"If you were in the area, before or around 8am today and believe you saw this vehicle, or may have captured its movements on your dash cam, we would ask that you get in touch with us. I would also make a direct appeal to the man and woman who were observed at the scene of the incident to contact us."Alternatively, you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.
