A police spokesperson said a silver Mercedes E Class was parked in the vicinity of McDonald's and Link 47 when it suffered damage to the front drivers side of the vehicle.

"A partial description of the driver and vehicle has been passed to police and paint transfer from the suspect vehicle is currently being considered for forensic analysis.

"We are also making efforts to review CCTV on the area over the coming few days.

"If you were the driver we would encourage you to make contact ASAP as the victim would prefer to resolve the matter amicably without police involvement.

"If you are the driver or witnessed the collision please give us a ring on 101 quoting reference number 2041 of 10/06/2021."
