It happened on Station Road earlier this week.

He then drove away.

“It happened in the middle of the day when many people are likely to have been out and about.

“Anyone who was in the area of Station Road at the time, saw a blue Peugeot 308 or captured it on dash cam, please get in touch.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 21*332006.
