“Can I please ask for any witnesses to come forward and also anyone who may have been driving around the area during this time who may have dash-cam footage of the vehicle to get in touch.
“We are also aware of a similar report made in Bangor yesterday morning. This was swiftly investigated; all parties were identified, and no offences disclosed. We are not treating these as linked incidents”.
