The car is described as slight grey silver, possibly a MPV type, and had a white number plate with the numbers 1099 or 099 in it.
Detective Constable Claire Daysh said: “If you were in the area early that morning and saw anything of what happened, or recognise that car, please contact us via [email protected] or call 101, quoting serial 88 of 26/09.
