“I would ask anyone who was in the area of Back Percy Street at around 10.25pm last night who saw or heard anything suspicious or anyone who believes they captured footage of the Audi car being driven away from the area on dashcam or CCTV to contact us.
“I would similarly ask for anyone who may have seen the car being left on Howards Way to get in touch as they may have information which is vital to our investigation.”
