“I urgently want to hear from anyone who believes they may have hit someone in their car yesterday, or who has noticed a change in behaviour from someone they know who drives, or who has noticed damage to a vehicle,” Detective Chief Inspector Phil Poole said.<\/p>\n
“It’s vital that we trace that person as quickly as possible so that we can get their account of what happened.<\/p>\n
“If anyone in the area has found that their wheelie bin with a green lid has been stolen, I also want to hear from them.”<\/p>\n
