"Officers have been checking CCTV and carrying out local enquiries but we would appeal to anyone not already spoken to by police, who was in the area at the time and who may have seen what happened or observed the man hanging about the area, to please get in touch.

"We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage of the street between 4pm and 4.30pm, as it may have captured footage that would be helpful to our investigation."
