At around 2.30am on Wednesday, November 30, police received a report that a man in his 20s had sustained slight injuries after he was involved in a collision with a white van on Duke Street. The driver, who failed to stop at the scene, drove towards him and also collided with other vehicles parked on the street.
The van was later found abandoned on Price Street. Officers are investigating the incident and have analysed CCTV footage to identify anyone who could be responsible.
